The Fundamentals of Digital Marketing

An aspiring marketer with a passion for all things digital seeking opportunities in marketing and/or PR and advertising. I enjoy making compelling and engaging content whether through visual design or storytelling through words in order to make a meaningful impact in a client's brand and ultimately the communities the brand resides in.

The moment I discovered my passion for marketing and advertising was when I watched this ad for adidas Originals called “Original is never finished” and I remember being completely enthralled by that ad how it perfectly spoke to my demographic from the visuals, the star-studded cast, the styling in the ad and the key messaging behind it whereby creativity is just constant evolution anything can become original again if you push it far enough. From there I knew that I wanted to excel in this industry driven by creativity and innovation and I believe that I have been accumulating the necessary skillsets and work experience to excel in my passion. 

My understanding and passion for marketing has only grown through my professional and academic experiences. Most recently, I enjoyed a four-month marketing communications intern role at Megaphone Marketing, further developing my analytical and social media content creation skills. My involvement with SEO Melbourne has driven me to seek out a career in start-ups, in order to push the boundaries of my creative thinking skills and deliver strategic outcomes for businesses. I am passionate about meaningful work that can have a positive social impact on our communities, and would love the opportunity to collaborate with driven, like-minded individuals in the industry.

When I'm not crazy about social media, I enjoy training for and running marathons in order to keep up an active lifestyle. You can also find me sitting in the coziest corner at a cafe reading a book and sipping on a latte (oh how we love Melbourne!)
