Clients: Virgin Money, Clydesdale & Yorkshire BankDuring my time at m/SIX I took Virgin Money through one of the biggest transformations in their history following their merger with Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank. During this relatively turbulent time we still managed to successfully lead the market achieving a number of media 1st culminating in a Highly Commended for Affiliate Marketing at the DADI awards in 2019 - 1 month after we successfully onboarded the CYBG business, following a lengthy pitch process after the merger.

Clients: Bupa Global, Rezidor Hotel Group (Radisson Blu)Following a thoroughly enjoyable and valuable experience at Manning Gottlieb OMD I moved over to a digital agency in DigitasLBi as an affiliate manager.This role enabled me to further enhance my abilities as a manager and as a more senior member of the team. One aspect of this was that I was getting a lot more involved in new business pitches, with these becoming a regularity in my day to day work. This resulted in a significant increase in knowledge of a number of different sectors and verticals, and a much better commercial understanding of how new business accounts are costed. Not only did the pitch work enable me to gain a much more holistic view, but the accounts that I worked on took me to completely different sectors from the finance and automotive campaigns I had previously run. Therefore enabling me to broaden my affiliate knowledge within the healthcare and the travel sectors working across both B2C and B2B.

Clients: TSB, Renault/Dacia, Mitsubishi, BathstoreFollowing a successful year working on two key affiliate accounts in automotive and financial services (having launched the affiliate program of a major UK bank), culminating in single-handedly winning an award at the Performance Marketing Awards, as well as winning two pieces of new business, I was promoted to a senior affiliate planner.In this position my responsibilities extended to managing the junior execs on the team as well as taking a step back from the day to day and working with colleagues on new business opportunities.

Having been promoted just over a year into my employment my duties developed to include broader strategic thinking and the negotiation of new commercial agreements.Working within a fully integrated digital client team my knowledge and skills extend beyond affiliate marketing and touch upon a range of digital media activities and campaigns.

Having joined a relatively small affiliate team at this award-winning media agency, I was instantly given a pivotal role in launching the affiliate program of a major bank. Working initially on this account, I was able to develop my skills and help my team bring on new clients. Which has enabled me to take on a more senior role. Some of my duties across the accounts I work include:- Media planning and buying- Managing campaign budgets and ensuring third party remuneration's- Market and competitor analysis- Campaign analysis and reporting- Campaign optimisation- Managing publisher and client relationships
