About me
I am an ambitious, committed and personable candidate who holds the transferable skills required to make a real contribution to your business. I have a number of professional goals in life, and aim to be successful in marketing, ideally, but not exclusively, within the arts and creative industries. During my time playing in Lewis Capaldi’s band I have made many influential contacts and friendship within the music, arts and fashion industries. I have a real love of dealing with people and strive to relate to them on a personal level, something I feel is often overlooked in business today. I have established trust, and lifelong working relationships, with influential contacts within the music and entertainment industry and in the marketing and PR industries in my past roles at The Drum magazine and Pursuit Digital. I understand digital and contemporary communications and am adept at building and developing social media platforms with content that both engages and stimulates dialogue with the audience.
