  Indo-American Society, Mumbai - India

  Jan 2020 - Mar 2020

  Digital Marketing Manager

  I was hired at Indo American Society to help the management in writing E-mails and Minutes of Meeting; but it wasn't a time-consuming job that would take days to be completed, so I helped them establish an online presence by optimising their website and posting content on their Social Media like Facebook and Instagram. This is where I learned how the advertisement industry works and how we can use social media and SEO to help brands grow. However, I couldn't achieve any significant milestones as I was new to this and the management was not flexible in trying out new ways to advertise. Show less
