About

I am a positive and solution-driven individual.

I began my journey with advertising and the art of branding and brand management which has been a fantastic playground for my curiosity and creativity. I’ve been able to explore the range of my abilities together with the responsibilities assigned to me as an account manager. I enjoyed understanding the language of design and layout and was able to pitch in when needed in my early days as a junior account manager of a small agency.

I have become the go-to person for many and I am always able to ensure we find a solution and complete a project successfully. I believe in the relationships I'm building; these are not just clients that represent a budget, they're people who I always aim to assist and advise.

Until April 2019, I was a Senior Account Manager in the branding and advertising industry, and I have also been a project manager and creative guide in the creative media industry. My broad experience from account management, marketing and communications, developing and implementing creative and brand strategies, both for digital and traditional, enable me to do this in any field I choose.

I enjoyed establishing an online job tracking system that allowed the company to operate with account executives working remotely in order to work on projects effectively and efficiently. This also allowed for working with clients nationally and internationally, relying on the central online system to manage the brand and projects.

Since leaving the agency, I have been able to consult with various companies and individuals in my capacity as a project and account manager, content creator and creative strategist.

Due to my vast experience in an agency environment, combined with my management and leadership experience, I have been able to assist my clients in filling gaps that I identified and supplied feedback and solutions based on my observations. I have the ability to assist in managing a process of trial and error to find the right solution for the department and organisation. These are skills I acquired during my time at the agency in various capacities and knowing how to adapt solutions to the situation rather than a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.
