British Citizen; New Zealand Citizen I have recently relocated from New Zealand to the UK to further my career within the digital sector. I am a target-driven Digital Manager looking for a challenging, growth oriented position. Adept at developing solid partnerships, cementing public support and working as part of a team, I have proven success in campaigns, social media, website and event management.
I worked as a communications specialist managing multiple projects and tasks simultaneously while managing client expectations. While working across numerous different brands I developed story angles, press releases and marketing materials. I also constructed engaging content for various platforms across social media and news media and engage with followers in comments, monitoring activities and researching trends. I contacted key news, print and trade media as well as key influencers to enhance exposure and deepen our company’s relationship with the media outlets. I planed and managed budgets for campaigns, keeping on track with our given time and budget. I also looked after multiple social media profiles for clients, ranging from posting content to community management etc.
I worked one day a week at PPR, interning for them as an PR account executive. While there I learnt the basics of being a PR professional, as well as working in a team environment. Within the role I learnt how to write media releases, monitor and create social media and media content. I was in charge of the Emirates client by collecting weekly clippings for the brand and helped with the launch for the Haagen-Daze ice cream.
I worked as a barmaid and waitress part-time during my time at university. I was in charge of looking after our guests to verify satisfaction with their meals and their experience with The Postman’s Leg was one of the highest qualities. I also suggested additional items to increase restaurant sales. I answered phone inquiries to schedule and confirm reservations and answer any questions customers may have, if any concerns I addressed the quickly to improve service. While there I worked as a waitress, barmaid as well as gaining my barista and LCQ certificates.
