Darby Beckett
@darbybeckett
Ambitious digital marketing manager with a passion for e-commerce growth.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly driven and ambitious digital marketing manager with a strong academic background, holding an MSc in Marketing (First Class) and a BSc in Business Management. My career began at the age of 15 when I founded my own makeup business, where I successfully managed all aspects, including social media and digital content. This venture led to a partnership with Europe's leading online beauty retailer, Look Fantastic, and resulted in a remarkable 900% increase in Instagram reach and a 200% rise in clientele.
Currently, I serve as the Digital Marketing Manager at Alpha Taxis, where my strategic initiatives have expanded operations significantly, resulting in a 450% increase in business. I have successfully grown our social media reach from 2.5K to 170K monthly, driven substantial sales through TikTok and Shopify, and developed a robust understanding of Amazon's marketplace through my own FBA business. My expertise encompasses SEO, PPC, content creation, and campaign execution, all aimed at enhancing brand visibility and driving results.
With a strong focus on continuous learning and improvement, I thrive in dynamic environments where I can apply my analytical and technical skills. I am committed to delivering impactful marketing strategies that not only meet but exceed expectations, ensuring sustained growth and success for the brands I work with.
