United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am an ambitious and motivated self-starter with extensive experience in digital strategy, account management, and commercial leadership. I excel at building long-term relationships with key stakeholders and creating revenue-generating campaigns that influence business decisions through data-led narratives. My proactive and results-oriented approach has allowed me to scale initiatives from concept to execution, both independently and as a collaborative team member.
As the Owner of a Digital Agency for SMEs since 2015, I have delivered end-to-end account management and online strategies for small to medium enterprises. I lead multi-platform campaign development and digital transformation projects, ensuring that digital tactics align with business goals. My previous role as Digital Programmatic Manager at UCAS Media saw me create and scale the Programmatic Trading Desk, growing revenue significantly within a short timeframe.
Throughout my career, I have consistently exceeded sales targets and managed global accounts for major brands. My expertise in digital and programmatic advertising strategy, combined with my proficiency in data analysis and performance reporting, has enabled me to deliver strategic insights and optimize campaign performance effectively. I am passionate about leveraging technology and data to drive commercial growth and enhance client relationships.
