Starting as a Media Buyer, purchasing classified advertising for a sole client, before developing my roles and responsibilities to become an Account Manager, working on several accounts with varying requirements, including Media Buying and design for web, email and print.As a small agency, there was a great deal of multi-tasking, and as a result I also developed the role of Print Manager, managing the print requirements for all of the agencies clients.I was also heavily involved in copywriting, proofreading and editing for multiple clients, and eventually also managed the design studio to ensure workflow and completion of artwork on time and budget.
