Full-Time Roles

Digital Marketer | Performance Marketing Manager

I help brands tell their story, showcase their authentic personality - and in doing so, get their customers to fall in love with them. As someone who believes in learning by doing, I've developed my storytelling skills by crafting content for clients (in both the B2B and B2C sectors), as well as through an internship with Seth Godin and through his altMBA course. My passion for creation and belief in challenging the status quo means I thrive on coming up with new ideas and pushing the boundaries. My love of numbers, and experience with data and programming, allows me to continually optimize the campaigns and content I create.
