PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS /EXPERIENCE

Graphic Designer

Designed successfully in the following environments: Educational, Training, Beauty, Advertising.

Accounts Management/Executive

In a below the line advertising and marketing company I managed the account for a large freight company. Responsible for taking of briefs, designing, presenting concepts to client, delivering finished work to clients standard. Meeting deadlines to clients satisfaction at all times.

Art Directing and Assistant Studio Manager

At Avon Cosmetics South Africa I started as a graphic designer. I was promoted to Team Leader and then to Assistant Studio Manager. I was also selected for the internal management training program. Selected to go to Poland for a week to learn how Avon's EMEA hub managed brochure production for multi-markets.

I assistant managed a team of 12 people (comprising of copywriters, designers, dtp operators, production manager, web designer) and was responsible for art directing, hiring of staff, disciplinary action where necessary, performance management and team morale. I was also involved in the planning and management of the budgets.

Working closely with the marketing team I was often called upon for marketing input as my creative experience gave me an more insight into the planning of brochures. I attempted to gain more marketing experience at Avon but there was no position available within the company. I therefore moved to another Direct Selling Beauty company Jean Guthrie Beauty care. I was hired as brand manager and within 9 months I was promoted to Marketing Manager.

Brand and Marketing Manager

As Marketing Manager overall maintained product sales from the brochure through exciting brochure offers in a volatile economic climate while improving marketing margins. I have also launched and re-launched product ranges in contemporary packaging, containing cutting-edge technology with limited budgets and resources. Worked on internet, social networking and mobile marketing strategies.
