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.
The Smirnoff Original Nights program was growing and this provided me with the opportunity to fully own one of the larger events - a Smirnoff Silent Disco. Alongside this challenge came my first opportunity to line manage junior members of staff in delivering the on-trade activity and supporting the rest of the team in delivering both the Silent Disco and the Smirnoff Electric Cabaret events. As the volume and complexity of the work increased I was able to explore and develop a wider skill set including:
Line managing of junior staff
Access to more senior clients
X Agency working (Digital and PR)
The events series was successful again, but it was my exposure to line management that gave me the most satisfaction and greatest sense of achievement.
