Ep 54: Hannah Spilva – Disruption & Resilience

“Imposter syndrome is a signal that you’re growing, it’s a signal that you’re putting yourself into new situations and leaning into things which are difficult that you need to charter” – Hannah Spilva

LVLY is Australia’s most adored flower and gift delivery service operating across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide, and Hannah Spilva is one half of the dynamic duo who founded the company back in 2014. Redefining how the gifting industry operates, LVLY has completely disrupted the space with their same day delivery service and strong focus on unique branding. Establishing a cult following in its infancy, LVLY continues to stand out from the crowd with their on trend aesthetic and tongue in cheek nature.

During a decade-long stint in the advertising world, Hannah has acquired the broad expertise it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. In 2020, her hard work and determination was acknowledged when she was awarded the Telstra Business Woman of the Year.

“Because we are in gift giving, there is always the customer and then there’s the recipient, so what’s a bit different for our category is that for every customer we acquire, we have two sets of eyes” – Hannah on how LVLY has organically grown momentum.
