My experience is such that I am able to quickly pick up and adapt to existing structures and Client requirements.

In depth experience has been gained across a wide range of accounts including retail portfolios, as well as the cellular, casino and hospitality industries.

My all round experience allows me to be involved and input across key Agency disciplines. This has included the consolidation of existing client relationships, strategy, media and new business pitches. Staff mentoring and the implementation of an agency's systems and administrative disciplines are strengths I enjoy.

To this end I would value the opportunity to discuss my resume in more depth either telephonically or via Skype.
