Melissa

When you meet Melissa, you can say hola, buongiorno or simply hello - she'll respond to each.

But there's one language this Hispanophone, Italophone and Anglophone has managed to master above all - the language of advertising.

Her career kicked off at The Age, working on Food, Wine and Travel (which sounds horrible) before she jetted off to London to work at Mediaedge:CIA, a global media agency.

Moving back to Melbourne, she became a production co-ordinator at Horizon Films and then joined JWT to work on Ford Dealers and the Melbourne Writers Festival.

She's currently learning Piraha, the language of an indigenous tribe in the Amazon basin.
