The first time working within a large corporate structure was an excellent move to balance the over-enthusiastic nature of self employment. - A comprehensive role covering all aspects of any given project from start to finish, working with all departments from planning through delivery. Day to day tasks include translating and documenting client and team requirements into functional and technical specifications. - Solid client communication skills acting in both a proactive manner to suggest and explain technologies to the client and account team and also as a conduit for communicating requirements to and from the development team. - Typically, projects involved handling all timings, budget and technical resource management as well as creating development plans and documentation to hit tight deadlines and allocating resource.=====A proud achievement to gain extra responsibility so quickly. - Originally responsible for all technical aspects of the prolific worldwide LG account, the technical lead role was upgraded after just 10 months to cover multiple accounts with complete autonomy of technical delivery for LG, RBS and Renault as well as individually allocated project oversight from further clients including HP. - A highlight of this extra responsibility being the complete technical oversight of two very large Renault campaigns simultaneously. The total team for those projects alone accounted for 9 flash developers, 4 interface developers and 3 php developers. Both projects hit deadline with very happy clients and all whilst ensuring other accounts continued to run smoothly.

A heady mix of work at this small but energetic agency gave me the feeling of responsibility as if the company were my own but with the reduced burden of sharing the emotional load and lead generation. - Many and varied skills were required by this small boutique agency beyond development and project delivery that pulled me out of self-employment along with a will to expand my contact circle. Experience of owning your own business really ensures the ability to manage clients and communicate well in client facing situations. - A key project whilst at Floh! was the West One Music website at www.westonemusic.com, a ground-breaking AJAX rich internet application with complex audio playback and even waveform visualisation. - The role included working directly with large clients such as Blackberry, eBay, Skype and Air New Zealand as well as with larger agencies such as Albion and Fallon, providing a consistent point of contact and technical advice where necessary.

After leaving Oak FM due to a change of ownership, sufficient work was available to set up my own company to continue the passion gained from working in the music industry. - Developing relationships with the various company contacts gained whilst at Oak and through contract work in London. - Creating an on-line presence for major independent record label EasyAction Records in May 2004 and subsequently various clients of distribution giant Cadiz Music. - The ability to complete widely varying tasks, such as dvd menu and authoring as well as promo video editing on top of online marketing, by learning quickly ‘on the job’ in this financially tight market.

After working part-time with the sales team during my time at Loughborough University, I was offered a full-time position using the skills I had taught myself for the station’s various systems. Talking to 28,000 people including a large campus full of your sporting peers does wonders for any lacking confidence. - Promotional sound design (making radio adverts and trailers) - Music catalogue and playback system maintenance - Daily show presentation on-air - Website updates
