MEDIA-24 - http://media-24.co.ukAfter working for, and building global relationships, with some of the best brands and media channels in the bicycle industry, I founded Media-24 so that I could use all of my experience and skills to connect companies with their consumers in the most authentic and engaging way. CYCLING SPORTS GROUPResponsible for the development of overall marketing strategy and execution of all marketing initiatives for Cycling Sports Group’s portfolio of world class brands - Cannondale, Charge, GT, Mongoose, Schwinn and Sugoi.CYCLING FEATURE WRITER Providing inspirational, entertaining and informative features to cycling, fitness and lifestyle magazines throughout the world.CYCLEFILMContributed towards the creation, production and success of 12 cycling titles, generating over 2 million views on YouTube.CANNONDALE Cannondale is a world class manufacturer of innovative, high performance, bicycles and accessories. For the first 4.5 years of my career at Cannondale I was based in Basel, Switzerland, at their marketing headquarters. This provided an excellent opportunity to build strong media relationships throughout Europe and gain valuable market knowledge. In 2004 I successfully built and implemented the Brand Manager working platform. This was a radical change to the original working practice of the business, but one that led to a substantial increase in efficiency and success in all areas of marketing. During this time I managed the European marketing office and was subsequently commended with an award for ‘Marketing Leadership’ in 2005 and again for ‘Creativity’ in 2006. Additionally, the strong personal relationships that I cultivated with the media during this time led to a series of self driven, innovative, press features (both in written form and video) resulting in extensive global brand/product exposure which led to an ongoing partnership with Cyclefilm and the expansion of my role as a freelance writer.MEDIA-24 PROJECTS
