anothermode was founded by digital natives and secondhand fashion lovers.
Issey Gladston is a sustainable fashion journalist, photographer and creative producer based in London. She currently runs the podcast ‘How to Make Climate Change Sexy’ where she talks to industry leaders and practitioners about how the fashion industry fuels the climate and ecological crisis and what can be done about this. Around this podcast she has built a committed community of Gen Z and Millenial listeners who are tired of the traditional forms of climate media and are looking for something more sardonic and fun. Last month she spoke to a global audience at Billie Eilish’s climate conference ‘Overheated’ and also was the host of an industry specific sustainable fashion panel during London Fashion Week.
She is a highly experienced online community builder having co-founded Hothouse Book Club in 2022. It is an online and IRL climate justice bookclub that meets every 6 weeks. Through this project she has created another community of 500 members globally and partnered with the Wellcome Collection’s resident research group, Second Home and been mentioned by the Guardian.
Since 2018 Issey has been working in the fashion industry as a journalist and photographer. Her clients include Rolling Stone UK, Nat Geo, MUBI, Monki, Wolf & Badger, Soho Home, British Vogue, DAZED Magazine, VICE, The Times, PAPER Magazine, WWD, OK! Magazine, Metro.
She has an extensive network of contacts in the sustainable fashion world and a deep knowledge of both the fashion industry and the fashion minded consumer.
As a creative producer, Issey manages all aspects of turning an idea into reality. She has worked on podcasts, panel events, screenings and parties on behalf of her clients to take their brief from ideation to execution. In this role she has managed a web of budgets, time schedules, freelancers, and sponsors to ensure that KPIs are achieved. As an experienced freelancer and by extension business owner, transitioning into the start up ecosystem feels natural as she has been responsible for managing her own schedule, client relationships and finances for the past few years
Eleanor Scott, currently serving as a Carbon Market Expert at Carbon Market Watch, a leading independent research organisation dedicated to evidence-based advocacy in emissions trading and carbon removals. In her current role, Eleanor spearheads fundraising and advocacy efforts, overseeing outreach initiatives and grant proposals to ensure the organisation's sustained impact.
Before joining Carbon Market Watch, Eleanor immersed herself in the realm of climate tech and startups. At the European Institute of Technology and Innovation (EIT), an EU agency nurturing startups, she concentrated on communications and stakeholder engagement. Eleanor boasts an intimate understanding of the startup landscape, having spent a year supporting fellow founders and eagerly anticipates applying her insights to her upcoming entrepreneurial venture.
Eleanor boasts a rich portfolio of experience, including project management and the orchestration of creative campaigns for esteemed EU institutional clients like DG CLIMA, EIT, and EUIPO while consulting for ICF NEXT. In this capacity, she honed her knack for designing digital strategies that maximise engagement, adeptly managed client relationships, and budgets. Notably, Eleanor led a highly successful organic influencer campaign on behalf of the European Centre for Disease Control, amassing engagement from over a million unique users.
Guided by her lifelong passion for second-hand fashion and an unwavering belief in technology's potential to address the climate crisis, fostered through her startup ecosystem experience, growing AnotherMode will be a natural progression. The genesis of AnotherMode represents the fusion of her dedication to climate tech with her experience in community building, further fortified by her role as a Mentor at the Oxford School of Climate Change.
