Senior Marketing Manager

AKQA is an ideas and innovation company. We exist to create the future for our clients.

Hello :) I’m a senior marketing and communications specialist with over 10 years of experience in roles that have enhanced the reputation of organisations both internally and externally. Working in a wide range of areas including brand and campaign management, content production, events, conferences and awards, partnerships, PR, and social media, I’ve helped build positive relationships with staff, clients/prospects, industry influencers and journalists, and the public. I started my career in media, working at both News UK and Bauer before my love of all things creative led me into the ad industry, where I have been responsible for in-house communications and marketing campaigns for influential agencies and production companies including AKQA, Sweetshop and Wunderman Thompson Technology. Career highlights include delivering successful client events such as ‘An Insight with Sir Paul Smith’ at the Design Museum, and the premiere screening of Sir Richard Branson’s film Don’t Look Down at BAFTA; and managing communications closely with client partners on projects such as the award-winning BBC Story of Life App and Iris’ winning film in Channel 4’s annual Diversity in Advertising Award: Starbucks ‘What’s Your Name?’ I've also written (and ghost-written) articles for leading media titles – including 'Next generation marketing: how to play in the metaverse' for Creativepool, and helped launch papers such as WT Tech's 'Marketing in an era of heightened social awareness'. I’m often told that one of my greatest strengths is the energy that I bring to a team – being both highly conscientious towards others, and igniting passion and positivity amongst colleagues – I work in a way that brings people together. I have purposely aligned myself with companies that work with integrity, that truly care about their environmental responsibilities, and improving equity and representation. I’m proud to have worked on numerous initiatives to support up-and-coming and underrepresented talent in the industry, managing Future Lions in Cannes, and leading partnerships with RARE by Google and APA-backed Iconic Steps. I'm currently Marketing Manager at Radley Yeldar, an award-winning, independent creative consultancy that's helping to create a world that believes in business.
