My Blue Ocean Strategy of launching the first ever Ghost Tours and Gangster Tours in China enabled me to attract Fortune 500 clients, recruit native English speaking guides, and rapidly expand into Beijing and Xi’an. I then developed more than 40 different tours and presentations including Business Tours for PwC’s senior partners and a Chinese Digital Immersion Experience for Google.

As this ethnographic consultancy’s longest serving provider of project management services in China, I provided a wide range of Fortune 500 clients with business development research, headhunting, translating, interpreting, and logistical services.

As Panda Education's part-time Marketing Manager, I developed the company's website (Panda2004.com); targeted and contracted corporate clients; wrote promotional and legal documents; represented the company in government meetings; and taught demo classes in Mandarin, English and Cross Cultural Training.

Capitalising on Chinese President Xi Jinping’s passion for football and his plans to open 20,000 soccer academies, our keyword research enabled us to develop a website with strong SEM and SEO for selling e-commerce products including match tickets and clothing. We also increased our ROI by placing international soccer coaches at football academies throughout China.

Generated leads with multi-channel campaigns for our luxury apartments, restaurant and bar. Recruited and set KPIs for a team of ten marketers. Established our visual identity and brand strategy, wrote advertorials, oversaw promotional events, managed digital marketing campaigns, designed www.aquaspace.com.cn, and utilised social media to optimise our organic search performance. I also massively boosted our brand recognition by persuading the Shanghai Government to select us as a Designated VIP Host for the World Expo, and choose my Media Department to run their VIP Expo Magazine (now published as vantage-magazine.com).

As this Chinese company’s only foreign employee, I managed web design and digital marketing for a multi-platform swap website, which was so popular that there were 34 copycat websites.

Used analytical tools to conduct data research and predict trends for more than 700 products in over 300 stores. Negotiated with suppliers in UK and Germany for better costs and promotions. Nurtured procurement opportunities, and managed cross-merchandising projects.

Whilst studying Chinese Politics at Peking University, I also developed skills in public relations, fundraising, digital marketing, SEO, journalism, and interpreting by helping organise and publicise visits from UNICEF Ambassadors including Sir Roger Moore and UNICEF Executive Director, Carol Bellamy.
