About me

Hi,

I have two years of design and marketing experience and I am confident that my combination of practical work experience and educational knowledge has prepared me for making an immediate contribution to any company. I understand the level of professionalism and communication required for long term success in this field and I intend to develop and push my skills as far as they will go. My background and professional approach to business will provide any company with a productive designer, communicator and marketing enthusiast.

After graduating from The University of Lincoln with a degree in Creative Advertising I volunteered as a Graphic Designer to build up my portfolio before landing a Marketing job at Voluntary Action Barnsley. Since then I have been promoted to Communication Officer where I create innovative marketing and communication material for the Voluntary Sector. I do this via print, the web and in the form of E bulletins. I use the organisations database to target and segment groups for successful marketing campaigns.

I have recently gained a distinction in my Adobe Dreamweaver and Flash certification and along with my existing skills in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign I have a strong working knowledge of the Adobe Suite.
Through the web design course I learned how to build sites from scratch. Manage content online. Keep a track of web site hits through Google Analytics. Linking work into social networking/media sites e.g. Facebook, Twitter.
I am a highly creative indivdual with great communication skills having worked in a Marketing and Communications role for over 18 months.

Please find attached a copy of my CV for your viewing along with a sample of my portfolio. Also, here is a link to my website: *

I look foward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards

James
