My role was to build student’s professional skills within a team-working environment and monitor and review the each group’s research and guide them into their final presentation. The students would pitch their final idea to their course leader and myself; we would collectively grade their research and presentations skills. The key to my role was making sure that students identified current trends and developed them into a sustainable idea for an appropriate and commercially viable promotional package- which included press packs, press release, launch event activity and all surrounding marketing opportunities.

Collective London is a creative consultancy and events production group boasting strong working relationships with innovative brands- helping them to implement unique and creative marketing strategies.

Whilst setting up the group I lead marketing campaign for KR3W, PALACE, Patron, FKA Twigs and many more. I maintained strong relationships with musicians, DJ’s, designers, filmmakers, artists and performers whilst maintaining credibility in the creative industry. I applied my experience and past contacts with press to gain media coverage on all projects.

Working closely with key worldwide publications and members of international press, I handled all sample activity as well as developing and executing seasonal brand strategies; placing and confirming numerous brand and designer specific profile features, and securing product placement. While working closely with Charlotte Olympia I covered her worldwide press activity, events and special projects. I was asked to form a VIP department within the company. Over nine months I successfully developed a new division; working with all RMO and independent clients to achieve results through gifting, red carpet dressing and designer campaigns.
