  • Oct 2001 - Present

  During my career within a creative marketing role I have developed many key strengths including:- • The ability to work under pressure and maintain high standards, yet also being able to meet deadlines, whether the job was designing monthly e-newsletters, creating adverts for the local press or creating engaging posts and PPC campaigns on social media. • Experience of working on complex projects from planning through to evaluation, in particular the FE/HE prospectuses, part time course guides, exhibition stands, press campaigns, newsletters, campus signage and numerous internal campaigns for individual departments. • Management experience when I stepped up to temporarily manage the department, this included development and implementation of the College’s strategic marketing and recruitment planning, project managing the FE/HE prospectus and training/overseeing of junior team members in directing design work. • Excellent IT skills and confident using Adobe Creative Suite with a creative flare, alongside a keen eye for detail. • Well-organised, highly motivated individual, always focusing on the task at hand, who likes to priorities workload, strive to ensure customer satisfaction as well as effectively problem solve. I am enthusiastic when taking on projects and developing new ideas, but equally driven to be self-motivated and work independently. • Excellent communication skills, happy to liaise with internal/ external suppliers, able to communicate effectively. I am competent in dealing with print suppliers and more recently became part on the project team working with a digital agency to design a new College website. • Working collaboratively with Management and colleagues alike to find better ways of managing projects.
