job
Strategist & Client Director
Celerity.
Role:Devised and implemented a roadmap of Digital Marketing focused ideas which met the clients business objectives (using a proven strategic framework), using data and insight to devise and build multi-channel customer journeys (email, app, SMS, website, social) which were implemented using the Adobe Experience Cloud or Salesforce Marketing Cloud, liasing with Solution Architects, Insight Consultants, Project Managers and Campaign Delivery consultants to deliver the recommendations. This involved outstanding data planning skills, pro-actively coming up with new ideas to increase a client's sales through insight driven digital marketing recommendations and understanding what activity and tests were/were not working, working on-site at clients offices as required, leading client workshops, developing, owned and led strong client relationships with my portfolio of clients and was seen as a trusted partner (Skipton Building Society, Greene King, Pizza Hut Delivery, Honda, RS Components, Rank and the PUIG brands - Paco Rabanne, Jean Paul Gaultier and Nina Ricci). This spanned all levels of an organisation from junior members through to the C-level stakeholders. I managed members of the Client Engagement team and matrix management of those from other teams and I was adept at working with multinational brands across different territories.
