  • Marketing Officer and Office Manager
    Feb 2023 - Dec 2023

    In my role as Marketing Officer and Office Manager at Sportscover, I undertook a dual set of responsibilities that required both strategic marketing expertise and strong organisational management. I was responsible for developing and executing targeted marketing campaigns to drive brand visibility and engagement within the sports insurance industry. This involved managing multiple channels, from digital marketing and content creation to promotional events, while ensuring each campaign aligned with the company’s overall objectives. I worked closely with the sales and product teams to create strategies that not only attracted new clients but also engaged existing customers through personalised, data-driven initiatives.

    One of my notable achievements in this area was successfully designing and launching a social media campaign that increased our online engagement by 35% within three months. This campaign focused on promoting customer success stories and showcasing our industry-specific insurance solutions, which resonated well with our target market. Additionally, I conducted regular analyses of marketing performance, using insights to adjust strategies and increase campaign effectiveness.

This included developing efficient processes for document management, scheduling, and resource allocation, which ensured that the office ran smoothly even during high-demand periods. I also managed financial and statistical reporting, compiling data that provided valuable insights to senior management on a monthly basis. This information not only aided in forecasting but also in evaluating the ROI of various marketing initiatives and operational processes.

I identified crucial negotiation points and provided data-driven insights that highlighted areas for improvement, helping the team create an agreement that aligned with organisational goals while addressing employee needs. This careful negotiation process resulted in a balanced agreement that strengthened our internal culture and enhanced employee satisfaction.

By blending strategic marketing initiatives with efficient office management and strong relationship-building skills, I was able to support Sportscover’s growth and enhance its internal culture. My time there underscored my strengths in strategic planning, negotiation, and multi-channel marketing, all while reinforcing the value of adaptability and proactive problem-solving in a fast-paced environment.
