  Account executive

  Starting off as an intern in the client service/account management department and soon after being hired as an Account executive, this role offered me the opportunity to assist businesses such as Grolsch (SAB), DHL, BUCO and Total to further build their brands. Having been straight out of university, I quickly learnt the art of managing relationships - both internally and externally. This position required that I pay attention to detail, be organised and analytical which then lead to me acquiring the ability to develop lasting relationships with my clients. Show less

  Account executive

  Having gained close to 2 years' experience in client service, this role offered me the opportunity to move from just focusing on account and client management, it required that I manage my own projects from beginning to end. This meant that I was involved in the production and traffic management of the agency process. I learnt how to better negotiate with suppliers, manage projects with the creative studio as well as building solid relationships with my clients - SAP and Wetherlys.

  Digital account manager

  The position ignited my interest in the digital/online marketing space. This is where I got to truly understand how to use social media marketing to create content with the objectives of building a following, creating engagement with current and potential customers as well as generating leads for clients. My role as a Digital Account Manager in a fast-growing digital agency taught me the fundamentals of Search Engine Optimisation, Search Engine Marketing, E-commerce, Google Analytics and how they can all work together to achieve the clients' objectives.

  Social media brand specialist

  With the digital experience acquired at my previous role as a Digital Account Manager, I was interested in moving into a more specialised role such as social media and this position offered me exactly that. I was brought in to manage the brand's social media marketing across all platforms - facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn. I was responsible for strategy development, content creation, community management, reporting and evaluation. during my tenure as the only social media specialist, I was able to grow the online community from 20 000 to close to 120 000, create an Instagram page for the brand and most importantly, create a solid lead generation/customer service funnel/process for the sales and academics teams.
