I started at AEO in October 2008, on a contract basis, as Group Marketing Communications Manager. A year in and I was promoted to the position of Deputy Director.The Association is made up of Chairs and MDs of some of the biggest event companies in the UK and I am comfortable managing relationships at this level.My background is marketing and, along with events, it remains my professional passion. I believe in continual learning and improvement. I was responsible for the launch of six new websites for the Association which incorporated the latest techniques in social, database and digital media.I managed a range of innovative research projects including a study into the neurological impact live events can have on purchasing decisions and followed it with a project using the latest eyetracking techniques.I also oversaw a range of events for the industry including the AEO Excellence Awards, the AEO Conference and The Forum Series.In order to do this I managed a roster of agencies used by the Association. Agencies included event production, marketing, design, research and projects. After the approval of the CEO, I had contractual, budgetary and operational responsibility for these relationships.Finally, I oversaw all external and internal communications to members of the Association including a quarterly magazine, website updates, direct mailings and email campaigns.And if you're wondering what the FaceTime strapline is about; it's an industry initiative which seeks to improve the performance of businesses that use exhibitions as a marketing channel.

My experience at Hennessy Sports gave me excellent contacts with UK broadcasters such as BBC, ITV, Sky and Setanta.Building on this, and with my knowledge of the sports events broadcast and production industries, I incorporated RingSQ to handle the sale of a unique sports TV format.The concept was sold to leading production house Sunset+Vine.

Sports sponsorship at Initiative Media lured me to Hennessy Sports, an international sports rights holder.This all-encompassing role gave me the opportunity to work across the entire consumer event process from start to finish.My biggest achievement was producing a major boxing event that was held in the LA Staples Centre. The event was sold to 67 international broadcasters (live!) and had a sell-out crowd of 21,000.

I started off at Initiative as a Strategic Account Manager. This was my first proper job after leaving university and gave me excellent grounding in all the main media platforms such as TV, radio, outdoor, cinema and print.On a daily basis my role involved using industry tools and research to develop insights for clients’ creative and media briefs. I was in regular contact with clients’ marketing and consumer-planning departments.The agency required a digital specialist who understood the mechanics of traditional marketing platforms and I was promoted to fill this role.It was my job to ensure that all communications were integrated and that new, digital investments had clear and measurable objectives. I was responsible for implementing some of the first digital campaigns for brands such as Lynx, Carlsberg, Guinness and Dove.
