About me
After graduating from university in Edinburgh, I moved to London and found myself working as a recruiter in the Tech industry. This role suited me in some ways, as I could put my love of talking to people to use, whilst hopefully helping people find their dream jobs in technology.
However I realised fairly quickly that whilst I enjoyed the daily interaction with hundreds of people, I had a desire to move into a more creative industry where I could both think creatively and develop myself in a vastly more creative manner.
Today I work in out-of-home advertising, working with household brands to plan and create effective campaigns that stand out, innovate and capture the attention of public audiences, as they go about their lives around the UK.
Within the creative world I enjoy the varying mediums and industries. I love that in my current job I am constantly exposed to creativity and innovation.

Planning & Buying AssistantPosterscope
London, United KingdomFull Time
I work as a buyer and planner within Out-of-Home media for a location specialist. Think Billboards, Bus adverts, taxis, any advertising in public spaces.
My role is early within the advertising process. It involves receiving a brief from the client, whether that includes a target audience or city, or simply a budget. From there I plan the advertising campaign, choosing the best formats and locations for an out-of-home campaign.
In addition, I negotiate the price this form of media will be bought at for a particular campaign and carry out the budgeting of a campaign.
Within this process I act as the intermediary for the planning agency and the media owners, as my company have an developed of the course of its life a vast amount of expertise and resource in how to best plan and carry out, out-of-home advertising campaigns.
