Intermarketing

• Headingley, Leeds

• Senior Account Manager

  • Jul 2011 - Aug 2012

  I was essentially responsible for the project managing of various clients such as Jet2, RSA, EveryChild and Cumbrian Cottages. Jet2 was my main and largest client and I essentially ran mail packs and emails through from initial brief to mailing. We were rewarded for our hard work by being awarded the main Jet2 holidays brochure as well as four supplement brochures. I especially enjoyed co-ordinating some of the larger projects such as videos, emails, POS and internal communications for corporate events for one of Intermarketing's largest clients, RSA. I was heavily involved in two large CRM campaigns for Jet2 and EveryChild which has massively broadened my experience in this area. Since joining I managed four different Account Executives and found I have a real strength for people management.
