Account Manager

TBWA\ Manchester

Account Handler at TBWA Manchester managing Staffordshire University, RentalCars.com and Odeon. 

During my time at TBWA I developed my knowledge and skill set working across ATL advertising. Working with multichannel clients meant that I had the opportunity to work across various mediums very early in my career. 

My time spent at the agency enabled me to work across TV, digital, print, radio, events, experiential, OOH, video content, web design, branding and ambient creative. Every project was collaboratively worked on with the strategy department to help unpick insights and provide a clear brief for the creatives to tackle. Working in such an integrated agency meant there was a need to build strong internal relationships as well as third party relationships to ensure effective delivery. 

I was also involved in leading client workshops and delivered research groups ahead of creative concepts going live.

Account Executive

Liquid Agency Nottingham

Here I was responsible for ensuring all creative and communications were in line with each client's objective. I was trained in delivering brand analysis workshops for to groups of up to 100 people. These workshops involved working with clients to unpick the true core of their brand and identifying what their position was in the market to enable the agency to produce TOV and creative guidelines. 

The findings from the workshops would act as a guide to the creative processs which I was responsible for overseeing, reviewing and providing creative feedback on. It was my role to ensure the core of the brand was consistent through the roll out of each campaign and were in line with the objectives we needed to meet. 

I also worked closely on new business pitches and networking as well as managing the agency social media platforms.

Brand and Marketing Executive

Pentland Brands

Interning at Boxfresh became an opportunity following a live university brief I worked on for Pentland. My internship involved closely looking at the business sales and production process to identify potential creative opportunities. Alongside this I also formed speculative social media concepts that could help raise the profile of the brand and increase engagement.

Boxfresh Marketing Intern

After 8 years of building my storytelling expertise in advertising I decided to apply my knowledge and learnings to supporting individuals with telling their own personal stories.

In 2018 I set up F*ck Being Humble to change the way the world views self-promotion by encouraging people to be unapologetically proud of their achievements. My goal was to challenge the way professional development training was delivered by offering a disruptive, relatable message that would transform the way people embraced career development.
