Edimbourg

En résumé

I am a Marketing professional with experience in expanding brands locally as well as internationally. I have created new names, products and services. I aim to work hard on every project/company, monitoring their strengths and weaknesses and continuing to polish each strategy for the improvement of its course.

I am seeking to work within the UK market and develop my knowledge of its consumers as this is one of the challenges I have not yet had the opportunity to take on. I recognise that the UK is one of the world’s most powerful leaders of the marketing industry which is an exciting prospect for my career.

  • Proventis - VIP BOX - Brand Manager

My particular area was Leisure, Sport and Tourism and therefore my duty was to involve hotels, spas and adventure and activity operators in the marketing of this brand.
