About me
I am a young and enthusiastic chartered marketing professional with over four years of experience working in the Advertising industry. I started my first job in media as a University Placement student where I worked for a startup Digital Out of Home Media Owner. I was then offered a full-time role in the business after I finished my Marketing with Digital Communications degree. I started off as a Sales/ Marketing Executive which consisted of assisting the sales team in nurturing new and existing client relationships, developing the company website, creating exciting content to share on all online platforms and scheduling our clients creative content on Digital OOH screens across the UK. Thereafter I was promoted to an Investment/Account Manager which involved taking on my own clients and being the sole trader for the sales team across all accounts. Three years later I joined an OOH media specialist as a Trading Manager which has extended my contacts and knowledge across the spectrum of the media agency world. I thoroughly enjoy the fast-paced movement of the media industry and love working with my clients to execute dynamic and influential advertising campaigns to connect with their audiences. I believe there is no limit to learning as I consistently continue to develop more skills to ensure I am as experienced as I can be in my field. My passion for Digital Marketing and Advertising means that I actively keep up to date with the latest trends.
