Core Digital Skills

My strongest digital skills I’ve spent the majority of my marketing experience honing.

Digital Strategy

With a wide breath of experience in many digital channels. I can develop and understand holistic digital strategies & communicate them to all stakeholders required.

SEO

SEO is my strongest single digital channel. I've worked on over 100+ SEO campaigns and have a love for growing brands organically, especially in the e-commerce space.

Content Creation

I've been creating content for over 8 years across social media, blogs, newsletters, video & photography with a strong understanding of branding, audience & purpose.

Social Media Marketing

My career started in social media and I've never left. I've worked on over 100+ campaigns with a strong focus on driving business goals & audience growth.

Complementary Digital Skills

Alongside my core skills, I have experience in other digital channels that help me become a well rounded full stack digital marketer.

Email Marketing
Experience across setting up email marketing campaigns on multiple different CRMs. An understanding of funnels and automation for lead generation and e-commerce.

A working knowledge on how to edit basic HTML and CSS to assist front end changes. Additionally I also have the ability to communicate more complex changes with developers.
CMS Management
A working knowledge of all major CMS platforms (WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Magento, SFCC) as well as lesser known platforms (Neto, Big Commerce, & custom build sites).
Data Reporting & Analysis
Strong ability to audit and analyse data of ongoing campaigns and historical results. Include performing deep dives into data & building robust reporting via Google's Looker studio.
Influencer Marketing
Having been on both sides, one working as an influencer myself in the beauty and F&B industry and also in the business side recruiting influencers, I understand the influencer landscape and what's required to benefit both parties.
Graphic Design
As imagery is so crucial to many forms of online marketing, from websites to advertising graphics. Being trained in graphic design, I have the ability to use illustrator & Photoshop to create supporting digital imagery for any project.
Conversation Rate Optimisation
From conducting A/B tests to doing conversion rate audits, I have strategised and ran various tests to optimise conversions according to business goals and KPIs.
