Bio

I was lucky enough to work with Kandiese at MediaCom over the course of 2 years. In an environment that was subject to significant change, Kandiese's systematic and methodical approach to her work made her an integral member of the team who effectively implemented processes and structure where necessary. Beyond that, while working together I saw Kandiese develop into the key point of contact for top tier clients where she demonstrated strong technical and strategic ability and was dedicated to achieving client goals. Kandiese cemented herself as the ultimate go-getter in the Digital Performance team, innovative and always willing to test something new, while still achieving set benchmarks. Perhaps most admirably, Kandiese was able to build strong client and workplace relationships that complimented her impressive account management skills. It was both effortless and pleasurable working with Kandiese at MediaCom and would be more than happy to work alongside her again.

Kandiese is organised, proactive and has great attention to detail. Having given Kandiese her first job in digital marketing she became a really important member of the team. During her time in the team she quickly picked up how to assist and manage SEM and social campaigns for one of our biggest clients as well as own the processes of pacing, reporting and invoicing.She really has all the skills required to be a very effective digital marketer, and I hope she continues have a successful career in the industry. Kandiese is also a very caring and loyal person and I would happily have her as part of my team again.
