About me

To whom it is concerned:

My name is Steven Manicom and I am a highly motivated individual seeking employment within the marketing, advertising and communications field.

I have recently completed a 3 year Bachelors degree in Integrated Marketing Communications at AAA School of Advertising in Cape Town. I will graduate having specialised in advertising strategic planning, digital media management, advertising account management as well as brand management.

Through my studies at AAA I was fortunate enough to be able to work on various briefs for live clients such as Sheckters Organic Energy, Potato SA, ShooShoos, Kiehls, MCQP, as well as numerous internal case studies on prominent international brands. For many of these assignments I was required to conduct research and develop communication strategies for the brands, both in a traditional and digital space, and to ensure the creative work is produced on brief, on time, and on budget.

After graduating from AAA I completed an internship working for a design and branding studio, assisting the client services team as well as conceptualising and implementing marketing strategies for the agency. I also had the opportunity to develop my digital and social media marketing skills through implementing the aforementioned strategies.

In my role as show-day sitter for ClareMart Auction Group I had the opportunity to deal with individuals from many different walks of life, as well as to hone and develop my administrative skills through managing prospective buyers and their paperwork, as well as submitting reports after each show-day outlining their contact details and level of interest in the property.

I am currently employed by an online services firm who provide marketing and customer support for a group of online casinos worldwide. In my role as customer service host for Betway UK I have been required to understand a number of back-end systems as well as administration requirements including the analysis of players financial profiles.

My hope is to gain industry experience and exposure through employment within the marketing communications and advertising environment.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,
