About Me

I am a multi-faceted marketer who prides himself on his 360 degree thinking when approaching marketing and pretty much everything. I am a firm believer that marketing is much more of a philosophy than a department.

I have a breadth of experience in all aspects of marketing and have in recent years developed and implemented fully integrated digital campaigns and customer engagement through social media.

I started my career  within a multinational engineering firm, cutting my teeth on traditional marketing such as corporate sponsorship, POS material, literature development and internal communications. I was promoted from assistant to executive after a short spell and progressed to developing the product portfolio and managing the brand in different markets.

I have now worked for a leading global marketing institute  for over 3 years, developing the organisation's digital communications and adding value with strategic thinking and efficient tactical implementation. For the last 18 months, i have been working on the institute's specialist awards brand and have managed the entire marketing process.

I chose marketing as this has been something that has also resonating with me throughout my life, even though i only catergorised it during my university years. I have been fortunate to grow up using technology and have always had a fascination. This has gifted me with an ability to utilise digital marketing channels as these are purely relevent channels to deploy exisiting marketing strategies and communicate engaging messages.
