A capacity to operate at all levels, 18 years experience inside a sales and marketing environment and benefiting from an MSc in Carbon Management from University of Glasgow, supported by Chartered Institute of Marketing qualifications, allows me to offer an ideal mix of practical know-how, balanced by an informed approach to strategic subject matter. Positions of responsibility for teams both as a department manager and as a project manager. In addition to my strategic low carbon product management and marketing skills, I am also well practised with tactical marketing, experiencing brand and communications campaigns at all levels, from creation through to the distribution and placement of POS - including design, on and offline advertising, direct marketing, PR, literature, road shows, product launches, sales conferences and meetings. Fundimental to my successful career has been a proactive outlook, which has fostered an entrepreneurial spirit to the positions I have held and the contracts I have managed. My enthusiasm for sales, business development and marketing is generated from a belief in working closely with all stakeholders, but principally front-end stakeholders, to achieve tactical and strategic objectives.Key attributes:• Creativity• Perspective and prioritisation• Communication• Organisation • Motivation• Enthusiasm.Overview of experience:• National and international brand and product portfolio management• External and internal communication• New media management• On and offline campaign creation, management and delivery• Budget management, reconciliation and evaluation• Brand Management• Public Relations management and strategy definition• Agency management• People management• Sales & new business development • Account management and development• Partnership management and development.Specialties: • National and international product & brand portfolio management• Brand, new business and partnership management and development• On and offline (SEO & SEM) campaign creation, management and delivery• Communications and public relations management and strategy definition• External and internal communication• Budget management, reconciliation and evaluation.
