Hello, I’m Siyu Xu. I’m an international marketing graduate with an MSc in Marketing Management with Advertising and an MA in Educational Leadership and Management. I have gained cross-functional experience at Adidas, LVMH, and IKEA across China and Shanghai, coordinating campaigns, analysing customer insights, and delivering engaging product messaging. I thrive in collaborative environments, working with sales, design, finance, and quality control to align strategies and drive results. I’m now seeking to launch my marketing career in the UK FMCG/retail sector, bringing an intercultural perspective and strong digital, content, and analytical skills (Power BI, SPSS, Excel). I’m eligible to work in the UK on the Graduate Route visa and excited to contribute to dynamic teams with a data-driven, customer-centric approach. In my spare time I enjoy travel, hiking, climbing, and skiing, which keep me curious and connected with people.
