About me
A highly proactive, creatively-minded and technically skilled digital producer with an ad-tech background and over six years’ experience working with many of the major UK creative agencies on their digital builds. From briefing complex tasks to designers and developers, to handling budget and timing plans or consulting on asset requirements, I have worked for brands such as SKY, Vodafone, Jaguar Land Rover and Paramount and am confident in working with diverse teams and disciplines to reach common goals on large budget, time-sensitive creative projects. My highly-organized nature and consultative approach is something I pride myself on, but I am also extremely creative as an individual as well, with skills in design, copywriting and film production too; I feel, with my blend of abilities and my unusual and leftfield creative ideas, that I would thrive in a role, creative agency-side, that allows me to expand on these and to continue learning from a talented team.

Digital ProducerSizmek
London, United KingdomFull Time
Overseeing creative production for two of the Sizmek’s largest programmatic clients, Amazon and Jaguar Land Rover, both large budget accounts. Providing a primary client liaison point to advise on asset requirements, timelines, build quotes and ongoing project updates, I would also arrange regular round tables to review progress and advise on milestones as needed. Internally, I would work closely with the design and build teams to ensure all briefs are structured and clear, feedback is received and understood, and to provide design support (Photoshop) and technical assistance as needed.

Creative Project ManagerUndertone
- London, United KingdomFull Time
Primary creative contact, overseeing the delivery of high-impact, responsive creative builds from across Undertone’s diverse HTML5 product suite. Some key mentions include:
• Working closely with Paramount on their promotion of ‘Terminator Genysis’, I oversaw a unique execution that saw the user’s browser appear to ‘burn away’, revealing the movie poster. Campaign exceeded KPIs in part due to its unique creative style and execution, which I had guided.
• Established and lead a long-term initiative to connect more deeply with key UK creative agencies for every project, focusing in on key problem areas and helping to fix them. Agencies were very vocal about the improvements felt in communication and understanding between all parties, citing my contributions as a key factor.
• Being voted International Employee of the Year, 2015.
