Digital Marketing Specialist

Marketing moves fast, and in a technology driven future, it’s moving even faster. I believe that at the core of any marketing team will be a strong digital footprint, which traditional marketing, events and social media can feed off and grow. With that in mind I’m on a mission to seek out the next opportunity that will allow me to aid the future of marketing.
