Daniel Thorp

I am a driven and experienced creative writer who’s seen success in social media content creation through perseverance, adaptability and a strong willingness to educate myself about the ever-changing world of social media. I have excelled in Philosophy by developing sharp analytical skills and a significant level of attention to detail, earning myself awards at A-level and a First Class with Honours at degree level. Therefore, by pushing myself to succeed at my passions, I have curated the necessary skills for a successful career in marketing and I am keen to work with a company who can give me the experience to succeed in the industry.

• Conducted thorough testing of new applications and websites, identifying technical/usability issues and areas for improvement with a strong attention to detail. 
• Provided detailed, structured reports on user experience, offering actionable feedback to enhance functionality and overall design by developing a strong understanding of the user experience.
• Therefore, I am able to identify elements that disrupt user experience, helping bridge the gap between a brand’s intentions and a user’s expectations. So, this ensures that marketing campaigns seem natural and are, therefore, more effective.
