The Synergy Group is an established nation-wide organisation with a reputation for providing high quality recruitment and training solutions to specialist sectors across the U.K. and mainland Europe. I joined Synergy as Group sales and Marketing Manager, taking a key role in the development of Synergy from start-up to a £38 million turnover business in 4 years. My role was initially to develop a comprehensive marketing strategy, encompassing core areas such as product and service development, brand development and management, client relations, industry partnerships, advertising / PR, event management and web strategy. Secondly the role also encompassed key sales management functions such as senior account management, tender / proposal creation, management of 8 sales teams and managers. My role was very much hands-on as in the early days budget was a key issue. I therefore had to deliver exceptional value and return on investment, to achieve this I designed and delivered all of the marketing collateral myself. As the business grew I developed and managed a marketing team to service the various markets in which we operated. As pat of this role I:•Worked closely with the board of directors I designed and delivered a short, medium and long-term marketing strategy.•Delivered candidate attraction strategy for 8 industry sectors.•Undertook a total rebranding project delivering a well positioned and defined brand message.•Planned and delivered entry strategies to 3 new markets.•Managed the full marketing mix for 8 divisions and the corporate brand, becoming market leaders in a number of areas.•Launched new website.•Organised an average of 20 exhibitions, seminars and client events per year.•Provided coaching to Directors, Sales managers and recruitment consultants.•Liaised closely with board of directors and sales teams to ensure buy-in from all parties on all new initiatives.•Recruited and managed new Marketing team.
