Fran Ayala is a London-based brand strategist, PR consultant, speaker, comedian and founder of Bitches in Stitches, a global all-femme/them comedy collective featured in Vogue, Rolling Stone and Tatler.

Her work sits at the intersection of storytelling, visibility, power and community. Through FranBrands, she helps founders, creatives and underrepresented voices build brands people understand, remember and recommend — without sanding off their personality to be taken seriously.

Fran has built campaigns for global brands including Microsoft, SAP, Singapore Airlines and HSBC, and speaks on personal branding, confidence, visibility, self-promotion and the courage to be disliked.

Her signature keynote, Dare to Be Disliked, helps women recognise when they’re shrinking for acceptance, reframe backlash and take up space with more clarity, authority and courage.
