I'm offering
I am a communications and marketing professional with over a decade of experience working working with start-ups, established brands and corporate firms across multiple sectors including consumer lifestyle. technology, finance and telecommunications. I have a range of marketing skills and experience gained whilst managing end-to-end global and national marketing programs in B2C and B2B environments, from strategic planning to tactical delivery, with a ‘roll up the sleeves and get the job done’ pragmatic approach.
I can competently plan and deliver multi-channel communications and marketing for both internal and external campaigns including employee engagement campaigns and transformation initiatives. For example, I worked with a magic circle law firm supporting their global Technology team with key initiatives to raise awareness of tech initiatives and tools being deployed across the the firm. I also worked on comms initiatives to encourage adoption of the latter.
In addition, in my role as an Internal Comms Specialist at a wealth management and professional services group, I advised and supported the Facilities team to deliver strategic communications around functional and operational aspects of the business relating to enhanced workplace experiences; this included transformational relocation programmes and the implementation of new technology and systems that future proof ways of working and support efficiency and productivity.
I am genuinely interested in people, and this propels me to foster and nurture meaningful relationships which often lead to positive and valuable outcomes.
