VIRGIN ATLANTIC: Flying in the Face of the Ordinary

  • Thea Hatfield
I am a creative hands-on producer and enjoy helping to find the best solution to a brief while remaining commercially aware. I monitor large budgets for global integrated campaigns and negotiate third party costs to ensure a healthy profit margin for the agency. My love of photography and illustration has also inspired me to become an experienced art buyer with great contacts.

I have learnt that to manage client expectations and deliver projects on-time within tight budgets, it is important to be proactive, approachable and a stickler for detail (I may have a small spreadsheet OCD)! I am used to a fast paced environment and am solution focused. I run a tight but happy ship and when the pressure is on my strengths are empathy, a level-head and a sense of humour.

Developing a great working relationship with suppliers and colleagues is really important to me and the success of a project. My experience with resourcing departments has also taught me that diplomacy, positivity and a calm approach makes for a happy team which is invaluable in a busy agency.

I am looking for the next adventure in my career and hope you will find my experience, knowledge and tea making skills an asset to your team.
