Leading the customer facing side of the world's best coach/bus tour company (TourRadar Awards 2015) managing all social media, graphic media and customer interaction. Building B2B and B2C relations while continuing to innovate the company's image. The first six months of my tenure saw an entire rebrand of the company's image, with a view to directing the brand towards the updated target market. This involved an overhaul of all branding, slogans, information and all customer facing facets. Giving the company a new image was the main priority, with a goal to targeting 'new age' travellers, with adventure, memories and community in mind, all while maintaining the unique 'rebellious' attitude of the company and enforcing the sense of safety and security across our activities; with the increase in young, solo travellers this became key to our operations.
