Skills
I'm offering
My key area of expertise in Marketing is in developing brands – some of them multi million pound ones.
I've worked at Director level and in various size companies from multinational to two person SME often in situations requiring change so I have used the full range of marketing communication tools.
So I do have hands on experience in the nitty gritty SME world particularly in not only how to use the tools available to create and run marketing programmes but also in financial management, business funding, operations, e-commerce and the use of social media to develop business.
Strong in understanding what can deliver a sustainable point of difference for a brand and delivering a marketing programme to market, I have also applied Marketing and Management disciplines in a very wide range of sectors including ambient and frozen food, petfood, public transport, retail and professional sport.
