Dive down (alternatively, scroll down) the mole hole to mole over the busiest mole in moleville...
Started from the bottom (of the mole hole) now we here...
From a nervous, afraid and overly cautious junior creative who lacked courage in herself to make it big, to a marketing and partnerships manager maestro in January 2022 - creating a name for herself from the very bottom of a mole hole and digging herself a tunnel of opportunity alll the way to the top - it's fair to say that this mole has certainly had her fair share of enjoyment, education and exploration in a life long journey of being determined to create tunnels upon tunnels of opportunity and instantly recognisable work in her own name in the advertising, marketing, art, photography and entire creative sector.
It started off with my younger self dreaming to one day become the world's top michellin star pizza chef when I was young, soon having my curiousity being taken over by art teachers and mother during primary and secondary school who helped me discoer and develop a strong suit of skills and interests in the fields of digital and physical art, including copywriting and creative writing interests. I was curious to the point where my new mission was to find myself in the world of creative media. This is where I started my discoveries and complete obessions of interest in media studies, photography, film, art, graphic design and more.
Working 9 to 5 (what a way to make experience)...
ONE MINUTE BRIEFS - PARTNERSHIP & SOCIAL MANAGEMENT: JAN 2022 - ONGOING
Social media management of the One Minute Briefs accounts, such as posting updates and daily briefs, interacting with followers and acting as a source of contact for people contacting OMB. It’s my responsibility to find brand partnerships to create brief collabs through representing the OMB name to message brands, organisations, charities and more, like being host to the official OMB partnerships email to keep up with brand leads, as well as social DMs. I have independently made OMB partnerships with the likes of Heinz, WWF, Rainforest Alliance, WWT, Knoops, Cineworld, Independent Label Market and more. I’ve also been responsible for creating an OOH launch for a winning OMB entry as part of a WWF brief in January 2023, featuring in places like Greater London, Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester.
PARTNERSHIPS I'VE MADE WITH ONE MINUTE BRIEFS (WARNING: BIG FLEXES AHEAD):
OXFAM - CUSTOMER ASSISTANT: JULY 2019 - SEPTEMBER 2019
I contributed my time as a volunteer to Oxfam. I was passionate about raising funds for Oxfam and was in charge of identifying rare music + literature and pricing it according to its worth to sell in-store. My knowledge of music made this role easy as I enhanced sales through realistic valuation. I served customers, organised stock and kept things organised. I enjoyed working with others on the shop floor and behind the scenes to support other staff members.
SAFE FOUNDATION - PR & COMMS: JUNE 2017 - OCTOBER 2017 (VOLUNTEER)
I worked on a campaign for a Halloween charity event in Cardiff which was my first piece of commercial client work. I worked closely with the team to discuss what they required on the poster and what audience they wanted to aim the poster towards. I was given a specific time limit in which to complete the poster and met the deadline with ease.
