About me

Hello,

My name is Samantha Groves and I am a creative services professional currently searching for an opportunity where I can continue to utilise my experience in commercial design, marketing and multimedia to create outstanding creative solutions for my clients.
As you will see from my CV, I recently completed an MBA in International Business Management from Royal Holloway, University of London. After I finished my studies, I was hired as the Marketing and Communications Manager for Coral Cay Conservation where I developed the marketing department's management processes as well as all current digital and offline marketing initiatives. Additionally, I developed and implemented the strategies and standards for all events management as well as all creative copy writing, multimedia, advertising, design and PR for the organisation.

Before I began with my studies, I worked as a print, digital design and brand management consultant for my own award winning design agency based in Brighton. My company provided graphic and web design services along with the project and content management of client artwork, printing and design. As a result of owning my own business, I was able to learn how to successfully manage stakeholder expectations by delivering projects to my clients on time and on budget. Moreover, I developed an entrepreneurial attitude which allowed me to focus on expanding my project management, financial planning, problem solving and public speaking abilities.

Before I moved to the United Kingdom, I worked as a designer for a number of companies which include in-house design, advertising and public relations studios. Through these creative positions, I have had the opportunity to work with a number of different high profile brands, successfully managing both internal and external stakeholder expectations. This was accomplished by delivering projects to the specification of the clients creative brief both on time and on budget.
