I have been in the advertising, media and events industry for fourteen years and have well- rounded experience in most areas relating to this exciting field. I have been leading teams in media and advertising for more than ten years and have a comprehensive understanding of 360 degree marketing strategy and implementation. I have experience in advertising, PR, broadcasting, digitalisation, social media management, production as well as experience with business leadership and unit optimisation. I firmly believe that content creators are the future of marketing and am therefore continually developing my storytelling, filming and editing skills. I am driven to find a role where I am passionate about the creativity, the clients and brands, as well as the colleagues that I get to work with on a daily basis. Coming from an extremely high-paced environment, where I managed an internal agency and ultimately an entire media business, I am confident in my ability to excel to add value to any brand. I am a dedicated self-starter and do not buckle easily under pressure and hoping to move to a 100% remote career. I love dreaming big and am always looking to challenge myself.
