Bio
Julia Connaughton
I had the pleasure of working with Vic during our time at Starcom on the P&G account. Vic is highly personable, and is as comfortable managing both a young team whilst dealing with senior clients, as she is with leading campaign planning and strategy. Furthermore, her exceptional organisational skills meant that she was able to balance both successfully. Vic would be an asset for any team, and I hope our paths cross again in the future.
Andy Hickson
Vic is truly passionate Individual, dedicated and professional – qualities that were required to the highest degree when client servicing P&G, but also qualities that she instilled in her team. Working alongside Vic as Associate Directors we complemented each other very well, bringing planning and buying together to deliver against business and campaign KPIs. Schooled with planning at the core of her being, Vic is a lateral thinker who encourages those around her to think

Website Technology Manager

Jun 2013 - Present
I began my career at the Trust as Digital Manager, where my role was responsible for planning and implementing the Trust's digital strategy, working with the digital team to both deliver our own projects as well as support colleagues and partners in achieving their goals. I managed a team that included web developers, digital marketing, content editors and social media. During my time here, I have seen our digital expertise go from strength to strength as digital has been baked in to everything we do across marketing and supporter development, campaigns, fundraising and customer service. Over time my role has become more focused on technology. As Website Technology Manager, I manage our in-house Webteam to build and maintain our main corporate website and other web applications, and advise colleagues, volunteers, partners, customers and supporters on best use of web technologies.
