I'm Vanessa Carlos, a highly creative and dedicated Social Media Professional with experience working with a variety of brands for over 11 years, both in-house and as a freelance consultant. I also ran my own successful Social Media Marketing Consultancy for 10 years, but as my kids have grown older I miss working in a team and really want to be part of a working community again. I'm passionate about flexible working that has allowed me to develop a career in the digital sector while parenting. I thrive under deadlines, take pride in my work, and excel at delivering innovative digital campaigns that drive strong business results. I enjoy collaborating with other specialists and clients to create campaigns that achieve incredible outcomes. I stay active on social channels, keep up to date with evolving technologies and best-in-class examples of digital marketing.
