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.
I was brought into the office to work on the Sky Festival and latterly Smirnoff, this was my first opportunity to cut my teeth in an agency environment. My role was to provide support to the AM & SAM in the day to running of the live projects. Through this, I had the opportunity to learn and develop core skills including:
Building budgets
Sourcing, research and managing suppliers
Effective communication with internal departments
Briefing in and managing of a process
Planning (project management)
My greatest achievement at this time was not only sharing in the success of the projects I worked on but also turning a short term contract into a permanent role
