About me
I am a highly skilled marketing professional, several of my campaigns have been nominated at prestigious competitions and some of them have won. I have a demonstrated experience in hospitality, food, education and premium accommodation. Enthusiastic with strong communication skills and a passion for events, digital media and advertising. I’ve managed and led a team of 55 people onsite and more than 100 remotely. I have planned, developed and delivered highly effective integrated marketing and communication plans and budget as well as monitored and analyzed performance that led to 13% increase of sales YOY, 6p increase spend per head and the participation rate reached 67%. I have created and implemented Brand Bibles across all units and teams. I have also launched successful loyalty apps, for the one I got an award for the most engaging social media campaign across the UK. I am now looking to develop and challenge myself further, by securing an inspiring role in an innovative company where I can bring a fresh, strategic vision and extra value. I am available to start immediately. *My latest project Instagram: mybikelondonandme

    MA Photography: the image and electronic arts The programme allowed for specialisation in photography and electronic arts – which, in addition to still photography, included interactive, durational and internet work – but encompassed a broader interpretation of practice. I explored the meaning, production and distribution of images, and the relationship between theory and practice in the context of debates about post-modernism and beyond. There were also enabling sessions in photography: Medium/large format cameras Portable and studio lighting technologies and their use Film technology Cinematography Digital imaging Output systems and processes And in electronic arts: Computer and video graphics Post-production Computer-aided design Digital publishing Animation Animatics 2D and 3D computer animation Still and durational image production and manipulation Interactivity Web construction
