Bio
Lydia Crossley
Emma is a passionate, knowledgeable and highly efficient senior marketer. Having the opportunity to work with Emma over the last 10+ years, across industries and organisations has always been something I look forward to. Emma is very clear about how success will be achieved, she motivates her team and those around her to come along on that journey - industry friends, connections and past colleagues always speak highly of Emma and any brand is certainly very lucky to have her at the helm.
Devon Harris
Emma finds the perfect balance between professional and human. In her role as Manager of the Digital & Web team at the University of Cumbria, Emma has created a positive work environment where everyone can play to their strengths, explore their interests, and be themselves, enabling us to deliver a high-quality service for students and staff alike. Our team has achieved success in the redevelopment of the Cumbria website, an ongoing project that results in increased page visits, decreased bounce rate, and an increased conversion rate. Emma has worked to prioritise areas for redevelopment, focusing our team on time sensitive, hot topic subjects, alongside longer-term development projects. Emma is straight to the point, clear, and detailed when giving instructions, allowing project to proceed in a structured manner. Outside of our workload, she cares for our general well being, ensuring we do not commit to too many projects, managing stakeholder expectations, and providing support where possible. Emma is overall a lovely, caring person and any team would be lucky to work under her! I look forward to continuing my work with Emma going forward!
