Bio
James Baxter
I have had the pleasure of knowing Olivia Wallis during her time working in the marketing and communications department at Mango Studio. During her ten months with us, Olivia helped manage the various social media accounts, producing articles for our online blog, sending out monthly newsletters, and seeking out new relationships with potential clients. Olivia grasped Mango’s brand immediately, putting to work her superb research skills and innate ability to create interesting and engaging content for our target audiences. With an impressive attention to detail and excellent organisational skills, she consistently conveyed the company’s ethos and brand identity in her writing, keeping within word limits and meeting all SEO requirements. Google Analytics verified the effectiveness of her work and the value she contributed to the business. I am confident Olivia will thrive in a creative environment. She is a highly proactive, optimistic and ambitious individual with a passion for writing. Olivia was well liked and would be an asset to any future employer.
