Marketing & Operations Coordinator | Growth & Marketing | Digital Marketing, Brand Activation & Social Media Strategy
Hi, I’m Emily. My journey into Digital Marketing came through realising what a passion I have for all things brand and business. I’m a sucker for crafting strategies that build lasting relationships between brands and their audiences, while authentically showcasing the brand. My experience, coupled with my academic grounding at the IIE Vega School, has honed my creativity, strategic thinking and adaptability in the workplace. I’ve led LIV Store brand activations and end-to-end campaigns across real estate and lead-generation initiatives, and I’ve supported clients through social media marketing, content creation, and growth strategies. I look forward to working in an environment where there is room for both personal and professional development. I enjoy collaborating with teams to contribute innovative ideas while being challenged by new perspectives. Let’s connect and see how we can work together!
