I'm a marketing and events professional with a background across local government, public sector and arts and heritage charities. I combine strong organisational skills with a creative eye to plan and deliver multi-channel campaigns that raise awareness and boost sales. Over the past 18 months I helped Geraldo’s increase e-commerce sales by around 30% and improve web conversion from 1.8% to 2.5%, while collaborating with agencies and suppliers to deliver engaging experiences, whisky masterclasses and wedding fairs. I thrive on turning ideas into measurable results, designing assets for social media and web, managing content calendars, and producing clear reporting. I enjoy working in fast-paced teams and love bringing people together through events such as the Inverclyde Whisky Festival and other community programmes.
