About me
I am responsible for events at the Apple Store Covent Garden. I have built a large network of contacts outside the business and play a key role in the evolution of Apple’s events programming in London, growing audience figures, diversity, demographic and social media out-reach.
I am responsible for producing all in store events as well as overseeing workshops and youth programmes. In this leadership role I establish and develop effective relationships with guest speakers and artists.
I work closely with different areas of the business and have shared my learning with teams world wide having sourced and initiated events that have been produced globally. I have created significant links with external partners, from the music, photography, social media, film, app developer, startup and creative arts community.
I work with significant high profile talent liaising with film studios, record companies, publishing companies and media presenters, working closely between all internal and external stakeholders. I create engaging copy and work with our design team to produce promotional event assets as well as production companies to bring all live in store events to life and delivered to Apple’s exacting standards.
