Retail technology unifying eCommerce and physical stores. Working with leading brands such as: Sportsgirl, Alice McCALL, Scanlan Theodore, Florsheim, Triumph, Guess, Kookai, T2, 2XU, Intersport and many more. As the Marketing Manager for stockinstore, I was in charge of the ideation and execution of the global marketing strategy. Working closely with the co-founders and sales team, I ran multi-channel marketing campaigns + assessed campaign performance, wrote and edited copy, managed and briefed agencies / freelancers, oversaw the marketing budget, PR outreach, assisted with inbound and outbound lead tactics and created engaging share-worthy content. I also worked on the asset creation for digital and print such as email marketing campaigns, website, case studies, flyers and trade show booth designs. I started off based in the Melbourne office and supported the team as we made the transition to remote working during the pandemic. By maintaining regular communication + organisation with the team a move back to London was facilitated and I worked entirely remotely thereafter. Show less
