What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead commercially focused marketing across ambitious hospitality, travel, events, or multi-site brands, shaping strategy, building brands, improving performance, and developing high-performing teams.

I lead multi-channel marketing for Oddfellows Chester, directing brand strategy and a refresh that repositioned the boutique hospitality business for new markets. My Meta advertising campaigns consistently generate 600% ROI.

Previously at Perfect Getaways, I created the annual marketing strategy, led a team of four, and delivered research-driven campaigns that supported the opening of two new stores. I managed Meta Ads, Google Ads, print, and radio advertising across a ten-branch travel business.

My background also includes delivering 40+ high-volume events at Cheeky Chilli Events and growing Rosie’s Pallet Co.’s monthly website traffic by 460% through paid media, content, and email marketing.
