Talking Social Media

• Social Media Trainer and Consultant

  • Oct 2013 - Jan 2022

  Since setting up independently I've experienced a wide variety of clients who come to me looking for guidance and training on how best to manage their Social Media and online presence. My speciality is LinkedIn training for B2B companies and I deliver the training one-to-one, to mixed networking groups as well as to large corporate teams. I have a fantastic track record in establishing viable Facebook and Twitter presences for my clients and can show you how to really measure the return on investment for your time and effort. I always approach training in a very hands-on way as the best way to learn is often by doing! I offer one-to-one services with plenty of hand-holding if needs be, or more extensive training on how to measure and optimise Social Media for those more confident with their efforts.

International Student Volunteers

• Regional Director

  • Aug 2012 - Jan 2013

  My responsibilities centred around a new initiative which brings ‘special interest’ volunteer work out to university groups and faculties to provide students with alternative travel options to the traditional language exchanges and study abroad programs. I directly targeted specific student groups, faculties and research teams in universities and so the ability to network is essential. Being highly motivated was key as I worked from home reporting to the London office. I also created online marketing resources such as mail shots and webinars to supplement my presentations. As the regional directors all work independently this work was highly challenging and target-driven. Extensive research of our 5 host countries was required as well as technical knowledge of the educational value of the work that is carried out by volunteers on each project in order to best target to prospective participants. I would then co-ordinate each of our special interest groups who sign-up ensuring they are getting the support they need from their university leaders and from our head office.

• Marketing and Promotions Assistant

  • Aug 2011 - Aug 2012

  At Glam my responsibilities included Social Media. bookings, marketing and online promotions, office admin, basic accounts, personal assistant duties for the managers of the club as well as HR tasks and payroll. We targeted students online using the mediums that they interact with most, namely Facebook, Twitter and email campaigns. In one year website traffic increased 120% with users spending more time per visit engaged with our content. My database emailed out to over 21,000 people and maintained a high open rate and engagement level, I used reports from these to effectively tailor consequent campaigns. I worked closely with the Promotions Manager to use our online marketing campaigns in a timely fashion, releasing events when our audience is at their most receptive and interactive. Our social media presence was my personal pride and joy being one of the biggest in the city. I also oversaw a small team of our promotion staff advising them on physical promotion, providing their material and collaborating to come up with new event ideas to pitch to managers and stakeholders.
