7. Amy Lavalette
VP Asia, Evidently
With 10 years industry experience, Amy has been lucky enough to
have worked on some of the worldâs biggest brands such as Dove,
Nokia, Coca-Cola and Diageo.
She made the switch into content storytelling based on the
realisation that she was watching more YouTube videos than TV
shows.
Recognising the significance of âcontent is kingâand the power
switch to real-time consumer advocacy, Amy joined Evidently who
put behaviour change and value exchange at the heart of all
content creation.
In between running the Evidently Singapore oďŹce, she helps
clients (and audiences) unlock brand relevance via storytelling.

13. * Storytelling
If you tell me a fact, Iâll learn.
If you tell me a truth, Iâll believe.
But tell me a story and itâll live
in my heart forever.*
35. * One of over 7,000 YouTube comments
The first time someone tried to show me this, I was thinking âOh
God! Itâs 5 mins. long...Iâm busy, donât they know how busy I am?!â
But then I realized how powerful the message was, and how well
put together it was! And then, I did check my skin...and then I
went to the doctor...and then I had the mole excised (removed)
and biopsied, and then they diagnosed...and guess what, I have
melanoma... so glad someone forced âbusy me!â to stop for 5
minutes and save my life!!!
