Responsible for the full Axel Springer portfolio across Europe (print, digital and TV). Total Net Revenue in 2014 EUR 2.4m from 3 staff, of which I have covered close to half. Responsible for agreeing contracts with both advertising agencies and directly with clients.Maintained revenues at stable levels during recession years and in the face of a changing media landscape (e.g. large shift in budgets from print to digital media since 2010). Helped to find solutions for clients with shrinking budgets that enabled them to still get good results, either by focussing on a single publication, moving from print to digital or, in some cases, developing strategies in new markets.I worked to implement campaigns across a number of industry sectors for clients including Ryanair, Epson, Lenovo, Visit Britain, Carmignac Gestion and Zurich Insurance.One of the biggest campaigns I dealt with was for Epson, where I worked closely with Total Media to recognise the specific media that would work best with the areas in Europe they were targeting. In 2015 this business was worth close to EUR 350k.I also worked together with colleagues in other international sales offices of Axel Springer to ensure that global clients were fully aware of the portfolio.My greatest achievement in this role was running the office almost single handled for around 6 months in 2012 after my previous boss had to step back due to ill health. I am also proud of how I managed to keep a steady relationship with the marketing department at Ryanair over the course of 7 years despite a high turnover of staff there and their exceedingly demanding conditions.
