Bio
Lauren Lumley-Kelly
Ellie was my manager during my placement year, and I couldn’t have asked for a better manager to start my career with. During my time working with her, Ellie taught me so much about the world of marketing and continually encouraged my development in many different aspects to ensure I got the most out of my year in industry. She brought passion not only to her own work, but to the work of her team too. Ellie’s creative mindset and ability to spot trends quickly meant that she always had an abundance of ideas which were continually successful across all areas of marketing. Her friendly and down-to-earth personality mean that she is easily approachable, and makes for a great leader. I loved my time working with Ellie, and hope I can work with her again in the future!

Ellie was amazing to work alongside, her analytical and creative approach to social media is exceptional. We both worked very closely and collaborated between departments throughout our time together. I learnt a lot about the Instagram algorithm and leveraging community from Ellie's work. I enjoyed collaborating on shoots and events together where Ellie created creative content for all channels that brought an authentic feel to the brand pages.
