About me

I am looking to start my career in advertising in an Entry Level or Account Executive position.

After graduating from Durham last year, I started in my role as a Senior Office Assistant in the Guest Shopping Department of Harrods. This role has given me good computer and administration skills, such as compiling reports, making databases and control of the departmental diaries. It also involves meeting clients on a daily basis and the recruitment of new Guest Shoppers, which is my sole responsibility. I believe meeting new people is one of my skills and I very much enjoy this part of my role. This is something I understand to be vital for an Account Executive position.

This job has also given me the opportunity to use my initiative and take control of my own projects. Recently I took the initiative to re brand the Guest Shopping department, working alongside the Creative Department to make a more modern brand. I have also been able to organise various Harrods events, which have given me the chance to use my initiative and work within a tight budget for set deadlines. These projects have also given me the chance to showcase my creativity.
I am currently studying for a CIM Certificate in Marketing and I also have previous experience in Marketing and Public Relations. This experience has given me a passion for communication, while my current job in the Guest Shopping Department has given me a great interest in the ways in which consumers are drawn to certain brands. These interests, teamed with my enthusiasm for creativity, have led to my passion for the advertising industry.
