From developing purposeful content strategy, to driving awareness through brand campaigns, to creating quarterly marketing calendars to achieve the set KPI’s. I’ve been able to deliver hugely successful campaigns working under pressure and set timelines. I have managed multiple teams, so that they’re aligned to work towards an aligned objective.
