I am an experienced Advertising Sales professional with 20 years’ experience working in the National Press market working across Print and Digital.  I am used to working in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines and always look to go the extra yard for clients.  I have worked across multiple agencies and clients and thus learnt how to prioritise. 

I am an experienced Advertising Sales professional with 20 years’ experience working in the National Press market working across Print and Digital.  I am used to working in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines and always look to go the extra yard for clients.  I have worked across multiple agencies and clients and thus learnt how to prioritise. 

I have dealt with agencies at all the main agency groups as well as smaller independent agencies with an extensive list of contacts at all levels and across several verticals.  Meeting with these contacts regularly to maintain and develop those relationships. Working collaboratively with agencies to deliver best in class results for their clients. 

I have also sold directly to clients and maintained and grown that client relationship which has led to the renewal of the existing deal over several years.

I have shown that I can build relationships at all levels within agencies and with clients and look forward to continuing to do so.

I am quick to learn and always eager to learn new skills to continue with professional development.

I have a BA (Hons) 2:1 in Politics & History
