  ROOT CANDLES EUROPE LIMITED

  Oct 2014 - Mar 2018

  Reprographics Manager

  My role as Reprographics Manager is a myriad of all things creative involving designing and producing print adverts, documents and marketing materials to represent and promote Root Products through expert graphic design and photography. My job encompasses creating any type of document that Root Candles need to send out to customers or the media, whether that be documents that are suitable for the web, social media platforms, such as Facebook, or magazines. The candles that Root make and sell initially lend themselves well for photographic materials but it is my job to ensure that they are depicted in the most an alluring and appealing light as possible, to entice sales. I utilize cutting edge software and programmes, such as InDesign, Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop to edit each document and photo to perfection. My job also entails interacting with customers and representing Root Candles at exhibitions and trade fairs, such as the Spring Fair at NEC Birmingham 7th-11th February 2016, helping with point of sales and product organisation for each event as well as promotion. For these responsibilities I exercise top quality customer service skills and detailed product knowledge. Show less
