About me

I'm a highly experienced, organised and proficient Project Manager/Resource Manager/Communications Specialist with wide-ranging skills in the successful management and delivery of multi-channel campaigns, content and assets, nationally and globally.
My career has focused on the marketing, advertising and creative industries and I have many years' experience spent within design and marketing agencies and in-house creative studios. I've worked closely with clients and stakeholders across a wide variety of sectors including retail, fmcg, retail banking and financial services, property, professional services, pharmaceutical, luxury brands, health and beauty, travel, music and entertainment and utilities and I'm extremely adaptable and quick to learn. My clients and employers have included many high profile global brands.

I have experience in the application of various project delivery methodologies including hybrid, waterfall and Agile and throughout my career I have used a wide range of bespoke and off-the-shelf project management systems including Salesforce, Synergist and Jira.
My design, development and implementation/rollout management experience covers the full marketing and communications mix including print (encompassing print procurement and management, fulfilment and delivery), digital content, web content, social media, print and digital advertising, event and experiential, video (motion), CGI and animation, OOH, direct mail and customer communications.

My hands-on skills and experience cover the entire workflow including:
Receipt and interpretation of briefs and allocation to creative teams
Scoping, strategy and planning
Budget and financial management
Creating and managing project plans, budgets, timelines, risks and governance
Resourcing and traffic management from brief to final delivery
Project management covering initial design concepts and once agreed, design development and consistent implementation across all touch points
Day-to-day oversight, management, trouble shooting and problem solving
Quality control and approvals including proof reading
The creation of employee engagement collateral, assets, toolkits, playbooks and brand/tone of voice guidelines
National and global distribution
Working closely with stakeholders on brand engagement and brand adoption and trouble shooting where required
Managing ongoing WIPs, status meetings, reporting and analytics throughout

I'm very confident in relationship building, working closely with clients and stakeholders at every level and leading accounts. Throughout my career I have built and maintained many successful, lasting and trusted relationships with clients, colleagues and suppliers alike and this is one of my key strengths. Having worked for a number of creative agencies and in-house creative studios, I have also worked closely with and managed a wide range of creative specialists including designers, art workers, photographers, copywriters, illustrators, CGI and animation artists, video producers, UX specialists, back-end developers and mobile app designers and developers, including traffic management, resourcing and recruitment.
I have a keen eye for detail and an accomplished creative eye, and quality control and the management of the approvals process has been a part of all my roles. I'm also a qualified proofreader, copy writer and copy editor.
I'm highly organised and used to scoping and prioritising multiple projects/workstreams simultaneously on an ongoing basis, having worked in many complex, fast-paced sectors and environments. Keeping clients and stakeholders regularly updated on status and managing expectations has also been a part of my remit in all my roles, along with managing and leading status meetings, reviews and wash ups with clients, internal teams and suppliers to ensure that things are on track, on budget and on time and to gain shared insights and learnings.

Budget and financial management, forecasting and P&L are also areas I have significant experience in and I have run a division of a creative agency as a separate cost centre, managing all the above in addition to my day-to-day role.

I'm currently looking to return to a more creative role which is where my true passion lies and one where I can fully utilise my wide-ranging skills, knowledge and experience. I'm a real team player, love building new relationships and bring a professional, friendly and positive outlook to all my roles. With my experience also comes extensive knowledge, calm under pressure and strong problem solving skills.
