Creative Marketeer and DesignerLondon, United Kingdom
About me
A forward-thinking Creative Marketeer with a diverse skillset. Who through hard work, a personable approach and design prowess has helped take businesses to new heights. Capable of delivering powerful content on time and to formidable standards. Outgoing and adaptable, I have a can do attitude and love to find creative ways to make things happen. I'm currently running a Web Design and Marketing agency out of Hackney, East London. I have worked alongside design, sales and marketing departments in both a freelance and full-time capacity throughout my career. I’m looking to cross over into employment for a company that I’m inspired by, offers a strong social employee community and one that targets a demographic and culture which I feel passionately about. My time working in both publishing and a digital agency environment has allowed me to develop a wide skillset. The main aspects of my roles have included delivering creative marketing materials, design concepts, graphic design, developing marketing strategies, front end web design, account management, creating winning agency project proposal decks and brand development. I enjoy synergising with other creatives and departments on ambitious projects. I am experienced in creative researching and interpreting creative research into marketing campaigns and web design. I thrive in working through the different challenges that come with each job, whether it’s designing, working to a budget or tight deadlines.
