Work history
Freelance Account ManagerMullenLowe Group UK
- London, United KingdomFreelance
Key Projects:
• Gordon’s were launching a high profile new product into the GB and Spanish market of Pink Gin. I worked alongside the Global Brand Director for Gordon’s as part of their brand activation creating toolkits for the On and Off Trade to use. This included POS from A-boards to menus to more creative concepts such as a pop up in large mass spaces (e.g. Waterloo train station). Gordon’s Pink Gin was sold exclusively to Tesco and the first batch sold out almost immediately across the UK.
• Alongside Gordon’s I worked on eCRM projects for Haig Club, specifically with their Father’s Day campaigns and their new campaign “Leave as You Arrived”. At the end of each campaign I would collate a report for the client on the CTR, profiles of the readers, and other statistical breakdowns to understand the success of the emails.
• LoveScotch is an umbrella name for the whole Scotch Whisky portfolio within Diageo that spans eight countries globally including the Philippines, Mexico and the UK. For this project, I compiled a 180-page document including strategy on how to execute a full 360 LoveScotch campaign into the On and Off Trade.

Anthropology of Food
Food is a fundamental human necessity, essential to the sustenance of the human body. At the same time, food may be associated with pleasure, passion, even luxury. Food is also essential to the social body. Who eats what, who eats with whom, and whose appetites are satisfied and whose denied, are all profoundly social dynamics through which identities, relationships, and hierarchies are created and reproduced.
The SOAS MA programme in the Anthropology of Food offers students the opportunity to explore historically and culturally variable foodways, from foraging to industrial agriculture, from Europe and North America to Africa, Asia and South America. The programme asks students to trace the passage of food from plant to palate, and to examine who benefits, and who suffers, from contemporary modes of food production, exchange, preparation, and consumption. Students examine food policy at national and international levels, as well as the role played in its formation by the food industry.
Focus is given to the study of famine and the controversial role of food aid in securing food supplies. Debates over the impact of agricultural biotechnology on agrarian livelihoods and knowledge systems, as well as on the natural environment, are assessed. Movements toward organic agriculture, fair trade, and slow food are also analysed.
An anthropological approach to the study of food draws upon and challenges the perspectives of other disciplines, whether agronomy or nutritional science, economics or law, history or literature. Dependent upon individual interests and experiences, graduates of the programme may pursue research degrees in any number of academic disciplines, or find employment in food-related government ministries, international organizations, development agencies, or non-governmental associations, as well as in the fields of public health, education, and media, or in the catering industry.
