What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic communications and marketing specialist with over a decade of experience in journalism, content strategy, and brand storytelling. My career has been marked by a proven track record in leading international campaigns, developing press relationships, and elevating brand visibility across diverse markets. With a strong foundation in sports journalism, I have contributed to notable publications like GQ and The Sun, and I now leverage my editorial expertise to drive engagement in the creative production industry.
Currently, I serve as the Marketing & Communications Manager at electriclime°, where I spearhead global marketing strategies and manage content across five international offices. I take pride in owning all press and publicity activities, from writing press releases to coordinating coverage with major publications. My role also involves managing social media content and building a robust network of agency contacts, which has significantly enhanced our outreach efforts.
Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to self-manage end-to-end content production and deliver impactful results. I am passionate about mentoring junior staff and overseeing marketing budgets, ensuring that our strategies align with the company's goals while fostering a collaborative and innovative environment.
