Summary

Experienced Media Investor working across a wide client portfolio covering both digital and investment media channels. I have worked closely with clients and other stakeholders to understand their requirements, develop media strategies, and execute media plans across various channels. My key responsibilities include conducting market research to identify target audiences, monitoring campaign performance and making data-driven decisions to optimise media spend and managing budgets with media vendors. I have developed strong analytical and problem solving skills, whilst being able to work under pressure alongside refining communication and interpersonal skills. I thrive in fast paced, dynamic environments and have consistently shown a strong work ethic to go over and above client expectations.
