DEVELOPING SKILLSET: Developed
entertainment industry with the foresight of a potential lucrative business. Before developing my hobby into a career, I researched existing and potential competition. I have since spent 10 years perfecting my self-taught skill to create a respectable, reliable and unique brand/entertainment service.
MARKET RESEARCH/PROFITABILITY: With entertainment being a luxury and not a necessity, it is imperative to constantly stay ahead of the competition with pricing and delivering a service that is worth the rates. Negotiating rates is key to ensure business stays at a steady growth, always delivering more than expected to the customer.
BRAND DEVELOPMENT: After researching what was missing in the industry and my desire to fill that niche, I remained fluid and creative to come up with a brand and service that was truly unique and unlike anything currently available in the market. From designing my own logos and artwork to brand growth and development, I have learnt and achieved a lot in this field. I also create my own videos and photos which has added to my skillset. A keen eye for what looks good on camera and digitally has naturally developed my skills in photography and videography.
MARKETING AND RELATIONSHIP BUILDING: With marketing and advertising being one of the most key aspects to generate business, I had to utilise every angle to expose myself and my brand. I built my own website which has adapted/changed over the years due to image changes, experience in what captures the audience, reflection and my professional growth. Through this I have learnt a lot about web design, SEO, marketing, branding and custom design. Social media has played a massive role in my exposure so I am always maintaining and continuously updating on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube.
NETWORKING AND GROWTH: The other main aspect for growth is networking, building relationships with clients and working in partnership with events/entertainment companies. Rather than aiming for a one off booking, my goal is to ensure that clients receive an outstanding customer journey from the initial enquiry (call/email) right to the end of the booking/performance. I have found that perfecting that has led to continuous bookings with high end clientele where I am highly recommended. Such companies include, The Ritz Carlton, Links of London, Radio Times, Edition Hotel, Warner Brothers and many other exclusive venues, hotels and restaurants both UK and internationally.
TRANSFERABLE SKILLS: Not only has creating my own business taught me many skills both creativity wise and technically, being a performer has given me invaluable experience in confidence, people skills and communication. Having performed to thousands of people over the last decade from every walk of life, I truly believe my ability to adapt to different audiences, my ability to think quick on my feet, working under extreme pressure and thinking outside of the box will be a huge asset to any organisation.
