January 2005 — September 2007 (2 years 9 months)
Admedia is the UK’s fastest growing national outdoor media contractors.
My role consisted out of providing the sales team with marketing collateral and sales presentations for the Creative Solutions department – this department is the experiential media platform of Admedia’s outdoor endeavours. The role further required me to create campaign proposals for such clients as Unilever, P&G, T-Mobile, Nike, etc. My proposal for T-Mobile lead to Admedia’s largest booking to date, and incorporated many formats new to the business that revolutionized the department.
My online role required me to optimize Admedia’s Flash site for ranking in the search engines. This eventually lead to a green light for a complete site overhaul (PHP based for better search engine ranking).
I am still a consultant for Admedia, helping out with marketing collateral and programming a communications protocol between Admedia’s operations database and the PDA’s of posting executives in the field.

I co-wrote original theatre plays, designed all promotional material and was in charge of all marketing. It is in this position I learned the art of story telling which is so vital to marketing. Another great plus was the fact that you meet the people you market to on an almost daily basis and that they are all too eager to tell you what they thought of your marketing and your ‘product’.
