About me

I am an excellent candidate for the internship at Creativepool. I am passionate about working with technology, as I have already worked for a technology start-up company and loved the fast-paced, exciting nature of the business.

I have a class 2:1 degree in German and Linguistics from the University of York, which allowed me to hone my writing skills and develop the ability to write persuasively and think critically. I also have a year's experience of working within PR, marketing and advertising operations.

I have excellent copywriting skills and an eye for detail as shown by my previous experience writing and editing articles, blog posts and content for the Noire Pay website. I have experience writing press releases, for instance I recently wrote a press release on the growth of Magento as an ecommerce platform and North Payments' partnership with them. This was sent to trade press and picked up by a number of titles within the industry. I was also lifestyle editor and contributor for student news publication, The Yorker, and wrote for an online travel blog, Exploration. I also maintain my own lifestyle blog, . I have experience using Photoshop as I have used it to create infographics, event invitations and pieces of visual content for websites.

I have experience using social media profiles, not only with my own online presence but also with managing company's social media profiles. I have previously managed Gabrielle Shaw Communications Twitter and Facebook profiles, and also Noire Pay and North Payments Linkedin, Twitter, Pinterest and Facebook profiles. I would schedule multiple updates a day, using Hootsuite and Buffer, with links to interesting articles relating to our business and promoting our services. At Gabrielle Shaw Communications I doubled the number of "likes" on the Facebook page in eight weeks.

I am also analytical, having previously created and analysed reports on Pay-Per-Click and social media campaigns using Google Analytics and decided how best to proceed with campaigns in order to improve their success. In my current position, I report on and optimise display advertising campaigns to improve viewability and click-through rates.

I have demonstrated on many occasions that I am a skilful communicator with people at all levels. At university, I regularly had to present speeches and talks to my peers and lecturers. As a volunteer at the London Olympic games I had to report to senior managers, athletes and provide the best possible customer service to members of the public. At North Payments I regularly attended exhibitions representing the company to external audiences. This involved explaining our services to potential clients and partners to persuade them to work with us or purchase our product. At an ecommerce exhibition in London I personally signed up 15 potential clients.

I would relish the opportunity to grow and build upon my skills at Creativepool. Thank you for considering my application
