Nathan Faulkner

Hi there! I'm Nathan, a recent graduate from the University of Manchester with a 1:1 in Fashion Marketing (BSc). While my taught-skills align closely with marketing, the abilities gained on my course stretch over various sectors in the fashion industry, including but not limited to, advertising, digital branding, management, communications, buying and trend analysis. I am currently seeking employment in any aforementioned field, to develop my creativity and experience further. 

Aside from a few communications-based job roles, such as my experience volunteering at a local dance school to help advertise classes and my most-recent job at LUSH where I attained the role of visual merchandiser, the rest of my experience stems from University. This includes SWOT, TOWS, PESTEL, competitor and consumer analysis, which I have executed at a very high standard - achieving 1:1s in each piece of coursework. University has also improved my computer skills, allowing me to become highly-proficient in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. The wide array of skills will allow me to to flourish in any marketing or advertising role, making me a great asset to your team. Let's connect!

I’m a driven and creative Fashion Marketing graduate with a First Class BSc from the University of Manchester. My background combines strategic marketing, branding, and advertising with hands-on experience in roles spanning marketing coordination, visual merchandising, and sales.

Currently, I work as a Marketing Coordinator at OS Comms, where I manage social media and email campaigns using tools like Mailchimp and Google Analytics to increase brand visibility and customer engagement. I enjoy translating insights into action and aligning content strategies with wider business objectives.

Previously, I worked as a Visual Merchandiser at Lush Cosmetics, where I applied visual storytelling and an understanding of consumer psychology to enhance the in-store experience and support seasonal launches. At Rituals, I developed my customer service skills and embraced leadership opportunities, contributing to strong sales performance and delivering a seamless omnichannel experience.

Earlier in my career, I supported promotional activity at a local dance school, where I was introduced to creative tools like Adobe InDesign and Premiere Pro—skills I’ve continued to develop throughout university and my professional experience.

I’m confident using Adobe Creative Suite, Excel and Canva, and I thrive in collaborative environments where I can blend creativity with strategy to produce engaging and impactful marketing. I’m always keen to push ideas forward and create meaningful content that truly resonates.

I hold a First Class BSc (Hons) in Fashion Marketing from the University of Manchester, where I developed a strong foundation in marketing strategy, branding, advertising, and consumer behaviour. The course emphasised integrated, omnichannel campaign planning and included extensive group work, enhancing my teamwork and communication skills. I also built technical expertise through weekly CAD sessions, gaining proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro), Microsoft Office (particularly Excel), and Canva.
