Josie Scalici

Josie Scalici serves as a Consumer Brands Fellow at MSL Group in New York, NY. She began her role in June and has one year of experience in public relations, building on three years in overall marketing. Scalici earned her bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Marketing from Auburn University, where she also gained practical experience as a social media intern for the men's basketball team. Her interest in public relations grew from observing earned media for brands like those at Sephora, shifting from an initial focus on social media work. She values the people she has chosen to surround herself with, including her team at MSL and friends in her personal life after moving to New York post-graduation. Scalici attributes her success to her parents and brother for their support and advice, particularly her father's professional guidance, combined with the personal drive and self-talk she cultivated in her senior year of college. She advises young women entering the industry to lean on each other and communicate openly about struggles, noting that being new to a role presents challenges in asking questions and admitting knowledge gaps, but having the courage to do so is essential.
