Hey folks,
I am on the hunt for a new job. And I thought that I would post up in here as I know that some of you run your own companies and others work for people who might be looking for new staff.
There are a couple of restrictions:
The job must be in the South East/South. IE Sussex, Surrey, Kent and maybe Hampshire too.
I would like to stay at my current salary which is circa 20k pa
Now for the selling myself bit:
I am a copywriter by trade. Currently I am working in PR and would be happy to continue in this industry slice if needs be. As a copywriter, I can perform PR functions, marketing (on/offline, direct mail, advertising copy, advertorial features), script for radio etc etc.
I am also familiar with briefing people for media exposure (eg radio/TV interviews etc - providing the background information, key messages, technique tips etc).
In addition to the written word, I am involved in elements of graphic design for marketing and advertising purposes.
The graphics side also leads into my work on branding and brand building etc which I have done and continue to do for a number of companies.
I am fluent in MSOffice applications, have a decent knowledge of Quark Xpress, Photoshop (CS2) and Macromedia Fireworks, Dreamweaver, some flash, learning Adobe Illustrator.
From writing direct mail and flyers to building websites, through logo and brand design, I can perform a range of functions designed to make companies money and increase their market presence and penetration.
Ideally, I am looking for a creative agency situation where I could use my conceptual abilities (ie for ad campaigns, marketing drives, esoteric stuff in general) but would be delighted to move into a forward thinking company where I am able to work with a team on the complete spectrum of advertising/marketing.
If anyone can help, or would know of a company that I could approach, I would be delighted to have a chat with you (on the phone at my expense) or meet up with you.
Many thanks
Leon
