I am an enthusiastic and passionate business and operations director with a wealth of experience in experiential, live events, and most recently brand advocacy and training. Throughout my career I have always sought out opportunities to both challenge myself and to learn; most notably I co-founded and acted as Operations Director at Bright, an experiential agency. My skill set is varied and I consider myself adaptable, versatile, and well versed in client services, training, content, event production and have first-hand experience of setting up and running a small business. I enjoy working closely with strategists, creatives and producers to create stand out work for the client.
An opportunity arose for me to help shape and grow the activation department in a young agency alongside juggling multiple projects for JD Sports and Haagen Dazs. Responsibilities included:
Lead client contact
Budgetary control
Support to the GAD across all accounts and introduction of internal processes
Line managing a team of 4 junior staff
Supporting planning in new biz functions
Alongside successful project delivery, it was the chance to have a positive impact on the agency itself that was both attractive and immensely rewarding.
