Lil-Lets are a FMCG feminine protection brand owned by Premier Group in South Africa. The brand is well established across the UK retail market, sold by Tesco, Boots and others, and has recently expanded into new international markets including China, the Middle East and extended parts of Europe. My role has been varied between managing projects from both international and UK markets, with an emphasis on international marketing. Working in a team with two international brand managers, I have had a high level of involvement in carrying out and managing on-going projects as part of our global marketing strategy.
To date, responsibilities include:
•Ensuring successful brand and sub-brand site launches for new international markets, including co-ordinating work with external suppliers such as website development agencies, copywriters, translators, and graphic designers
•Managing digital agencies to create and update content for international social media accounts, including Chinese platforms Weibo and WeChat, signing off content plans to ensure brand identity is maintained globally
•Presentation conceptualisation and design to support sales for key international retail accounts
•Keeping UK social media accounts updated through platforms including Facebook, using paid promotion for selected campaigns and competitions. Successfully created and executed a Facebook competition which achieved the highest social engagement rate for the brand to date
•Ensuring UK and international brand guidelines were met in point of sale and trade assets, working with point of sale agencies and distributors
