The Brief
Head of Brand & Marketing for a live events agency. Fast turnaround. No excuses. The kind of job where you learn to ship.
The Work
60% YoY engagement increase. End-to-end video production — I brief it, film it, edit it, post it. Don’t need to wait for anyone.
Managed camera crews for SQLbits, Europe’s largest data platform conference. Learned what content lands with developers. Spoiler: not marketing. They can smell it. They will roast you publicly. You have to earn attention by being genuinely useful or genuinely interesting.
Delivered campaigns for BBC, Superdrug, SPAR, Forestry England. Tight timelines. Shipped anyway.
What It Taught Me
Speed is a skill. So is knowing when to slow down. Live events teach you both — sometimes in the same hour.
