Consultant
Moontime LTD.
I have been running a consultancy for the last 2 years to provide creative project management, and marketing
support for the financial services.
I am comfortable managing entire creative and marketing projects - both print and digital, from concept to delivery.
Project management:
Experienced in managing a wide range of projects; from simple leaflet campaigns - including design, production and distribution, to fully branded portable stands to be used at events, managing influencers and social media content
creation and management. I have also managed numerous brands in this time.
Vehicle branding - I created the initial mock-ups, sourced a supplier who could deliver the vehicle wrap within
budget, prepared the final artwork for print and delivered the vehicle ahead of schedule.
Website builds and launches - I have worked with both internal and external agile teams to build numerous websites.
With these projects I have achieved decreased bounce rates (by 20%), reduced drop off points to increase
conversions (by 15%), and increased monthly loan applications (by 40%.)
I have worked on a wide range of projects in other aspects of the financial services, including;
• System integrations and changeovers,
• Financial product design,
• Agile software development in the fintech space,
• Product roadmapping,
• User journey analysis.

2014 - 2016
job
Project Manager
Castle Community Bank.
Castle Community Bank was born out of the merger of two Credit Unions in Edinburgh. I was hired at the time of this
merger to work with the new board and General Manager to help launch the business.
I managed whole process of branding of the business - this included repositioning the brand to target a younger
demographic, a new web platform integrated into a new lending decision system, and a refresh of their payment
processes.
The new targeting saw the brand successfully increased borrowers in the new target audience - 25 - 35 year olds, and saw the business grow from 600 to 1600 customers.
I implemented a direct debit system that made it easier for customers to manage their payments, and reduced the number of missed payments on the business outstanding loans. This system also improved the credit control team's
processes through real time notifications of customer payments, or lack thereof.
I grew the loanbook from from £200,000 to £1,000,000 in 18 months, on a limited budget using very cost effective
strategies, leveraging local partnerships to promote an ethical alternative to mainstream banks and high-cost
lenders.
I successfully launched a low cost PR strategy that led to the business being featured on the One Show, ITV News at
10 and other national news outlets.
My final large project for the business was the launch of a new retail branch. This was a large project, requiring
project management of numerous suppliers - surveyors, interior designers, architects, structural engineers,
contractors, a design agency and shopfront fitters. The branch launched on schedule, and I secured significant
national press coverage around the official launch event later than month. I achieved this by securing actor Michael
Sheen to open the branch alongside Scottish Cabinet Minster Angela Constance.
