Drawing from my diverse and extensive experience, I possess a valuable skill set that can greatly benefit small and large businesses. Throughout my career, I have been deeply immersed in marketing, working as a seasoned marketing consultant, head of marketing and telesales, and head of digital for prominent organisations.
As a marketing consultant, I have had the privilege of collaborating with a range of clients across diverse industries, including small to medium-sized businesses. My focus has been on crafting customised marketing plans that effectively drive business growth and help clients achieve their marketing goals. Whether it's devising engaging social media strategies or executing successful email campaigns, I consistently deliver measurable results that surpass expectations.
As head of marketing and telesales, I spearheaded comprehensive marketing, social, and PR strategies through both digital and offline channels. I successfully led lead generation efforts, combining the power of online and offline methods. Through my efforts, I facilitated a company rebrand, developed effective SEO and PPC campaigns, and generated compelling marketing collateral to support the overall strategy.
During my tenure as Head of Digital and Inbound Sales for a prominent organisation, I steered the marketing, social, and PPC strategies specifically through digital channels, with a sharp focus on lead generation activities through the company's websites and PPC. My dedication to optimising digital strategies led to increased website activity and generated valuable sales leads for the business.
Additionally, my background as a web developer has given me the technical prowess to create and maintain websites, intranets, and business simplification systems, which can be an invaluable asset in today's digital landscape.
Throughout my career, I have also demonstrated strong project management skills, exemplified by my role as a product manager, where I handled a vast product line and conducted sales and technical training for the UK customer base.
My experience as a draughtsman rounds out my versatile skill set, where I was responsible for creating and maintaining company catalogues and product datasheets.
My time as a Trustee and Volunteer Coordinator at Sally’s Duck Rescue was a profoundly rewarding chapter in my life. During my tenure, I had the privilege of working alongside a dedicated team to foster a supportive community among volunteers and drive the rescue’s mission forward. Together, we ensured that our efforts aligned seamlessly with the organization's goals and made a significant impact on the welfare of our feathered friends.
Unfortunately, due to recent health challenges, including a series of injuries and conditions that affected my ability to participate physically, I have had to step away from my active volunteer role at Sally’s Duck Rescue. This decision was incredibly difficult, as my passion for supporting the rescue and its mission runs deep.
While I can no longer volunteer on-site, I remain committed to supporting the rescue’s work through fundraising and advocacy. I continue to be inspired by the charity's progress and am always excited to receive the monthly newsletter, which showcases their ongoing achievements and dedication.
Despite stepping back from Sally’s Duck Rescue, I am thrilled to channel my passion for making a difference into new volunteer roles with the Blue Magpie Foundation and CPRE Norfolk.
At the Blue Magpie Foundation, I am excited to serve as a Communication and Marketing Specialist Volunteer. In this role, I will focus on crafting compelling content, managing digital marketing campaigns, and fostering audience engagement to support the foundation’s mission of empowering vulnerable children through education.
Additionally, as a Marketing Trustee for CPRE Norfolk, I will help to drive a strategic approach to enhance the organisation’s visibility and impact. My work will involve developing and executing integrated campaigns, promoting sustainable living, and protecting Norfolk’s natural landscapes through innovative marketing and strategic partnerships.
While transitioning from Sally’s Duck Rescue is bittersweet, I am looking forward to these new opportunities to contribute to meaningful causes and continue my journey of making a positive impact.
