      Having worked at HiB Ltd for the past three years I feel I am a valued member of the Marketing Department. I work along side the Senior Graphic Designer and and complete work for all departments and members of staff throughout the company. During the re brand in 2015/16 I was tasked to manage all of the internal branding. Day to day I work on advertising campaigns, customer branded catalogues, corporate literature, exhibition stands & most recently I have started to design/manage new showroom display areas. I have completed 'Virtual Worlds' & started using inno+ training so I can further develop and build a stronger brand awareness across showroom displays while creating a comprehensive installation service for the company. Something we have never had before.
