As the Head of Web Strategy, I was entrusted with the day-to-day management of a large team of in-house designers, developers and project coordinators to ensure client projects were executed at a high level of quality, on-time and within budget. A large aspect of my role was client facing from developing the requirements with the client to account management. Projects typically fell under three key pillars: website redevelopment, smartphone apps and social media campaigns. Bringing in new clients to the business was also a fundamental part of my role. For government clients this involved submitting tenders while for corporate clients this entailed coming up with various pitches and presenting it formally to the client. Finally, I was also involved in expanding the services Big Bridge offered by developing partnerships with key external companies such as Reload Media and Microsoft. During my 2-year tenure, I increased Big Bridge's client base by 38% while also doubling the gross profit margin on a per-project basis. In 2014, the owner of Big Bridge retired, and the business was sold off to iFactory Digital. Show less
