About me
Creative, innovative and insightful Account Manager that constantly strives to maximise awareness, sales and profitability of my clients brands. I am quick to understand the mission, vision and values of a brand, combined with managing budgets and maximising ROI. My key strengths are that I am creative and a quick learner. I have an eye for detail and when leading or working within a team I can motive and build relationships to secure buy-in. I am proud to say I display confidence, independence and passion at all times. Colleagues recognise me as a team player that is driven by delivering projects on time and exceeding expectations. I believe ‘you never get a second chance to make a first impression’. This is a natural response in me, which always supports and encourages me to go above and beyond. Experience to date spans across Campaign, Retail POS and FMCG. The time spent in both agency and in house environments has given me an holistic appreciation of both participants and an invaluable understanding of the importance of managing expectations, developing relationships and delivering excellent service.

Video hit 4 millions of views on Facebook and over 1 million on YouTube in 5 days. Nice, right?
