About me
Since graduating from university in the summer of 2007 I have since been working at a small advertising agency in Soho. Being a small agency this has given me the opportunity to 'muck in' and exercise a number of skills in both account management, and in assistants to the creative departments, working across a number of UK and international clients; Antler, Uni.K.Wax, Trees For Cities, Greater London Authority, Concord. As well as assisting in the preparation of new business pitches.
Now approaching 5 months with the company, to which I have offered my services at a very small rate to get my 'foot in the door', I am now looking to gain experience elsewhere at another media/creative industry agency to further my development. I feel I have all the credentials and drive to succeed at this level, and I thoroughly enjoy both the challenge and opportunity to learn new skills.
Though the vast majority of my experience is based in account management, I also have a keen interest and understanding in the creative and production side of the industry where I have always enjoyed a 'hands on' proactive role. This is an area where I would at some point like to enhance my learning, mirrored by my activities outside of work where I regularly attend exhibitions, industry trade shows such as Le Book Connections and have also entered competitions for D&AD and the YCN.
