Focus Designs began when I identified a gap in the market where companies desired an agency that acted as an internal partner, rather than a supplier that didn’t fully understand their products. Recognizing this need, I leveraged my marketing and design skills to develop a systematic approach for businesses in this position.We implement strategies that focused on building a strong understanding of each client’s needs, which involved conducting thorough market research and competitive analysis. Using content marketing expertise to create targeted campaigns that effectively communicated their brand message.

As the Marketing and Sales Coordinator at PSSS, I faced the challenge of increasing market engagement on a limited budget. I was tasked with developing and implementing an effective marketing strategy. I spearheaded and implemented an effective new tactic — creating a 'product spotlight series' blog showcasing niche products to our customer base through targeted EDMs. To achieve this goal I managed content schedules, organised industry events and product demonstrations, and regularly reported campaign performance to management. Additionally, I conducted customer satisfaction surveys to ensure compliance with certification requirements. With these efforts and the support of the PSSS team led to a 25% increase in market engagement, enhancing the companies visibility as an industry leader.
