  Not-Another-Bill

  Mar 2013 - Aug 2013

  Social Media & Press Relations

  While at Not Another Bill I managed all social media channels for the brand. From running competitions upon Facebook, Twitter & Instagram to grow our presence online as well as constantly engaging with our customer base. Press relations for the company was my main undertaking. While at Not Another Bill I got us in key national,and international press, which helped drive sales and brand exposure in a major way. Coverage in publications such as Stylist, Emerald Street, In Style, Elle Decor, Guardian online, Vanity Fair, Your Home, Good Housekeeping, L’Officel Hommes Italia, Brides, Women & Home and many more key niche titles drove sales tremendously during my time there.During my time at the company I began to develop a company magazine (free sheet) that we would use in order to expand the NOTANOTHER... brand into key sectors untouched until that point. I covered all responsibilities for the magazine: from developing a base of contributors – who would write and produce exclusive visual content for us – sourcing a viable printer for our magazine, and finally putting the groundwork down on the initial design within Adobe In-Design. Due to 'surprise present in the post' being our company message, liaising and sourcing new and exciting artists was also a job that the whole team had involvement in. A constant daily search for the best and brightest emerging artists was as much a part of the job as any other. Show less

  Brand Gathering

  Aug 2013 - Sept 2014

  Online Community Manager

  My first experience working in this field of community & social media management was for SaaS start-up Brand Gathering. Brand Gathering’s mission was to provide a platform for savvy start-up brands to collaborate on marketing campaigns via their purpose-built platform. Alongside this, the in-house developed software was licensed to multiple government-backed initiatives, which I, in turn, managed on a day-to-day basis. As well as this I have organised key events to grow the movement, created advertising campaigns, covered all current press relations & marketing strategies. Show less

  I was a video editor in the media department of this creative design agency in Berlin.
