Nathalie Derain’s Summary
I understand the importance of marketing and communications within an organisation and have acquired valuable experience in those fields over the last 18 months. I have worked in a B2B environment client-side, with marketing agencies on the creation of various internal and external communications campaigns, from the initial brief through to completion. At the same time, I have created and marketed my own web application and blog, which has taught me a lot about the specificities of online marketing. And I also have acquired some experience in sales, customer service and administration, which despite not being my area of expertise, will certainly be useful for my future role.
I am now looking for a stable long-term position in order to properly start my career in marketing. I would like to join a friendly and dynamic team which could benefit from my commitment, organisation and creativity, and where I would also be able to further develop my marketing skills.
Nathalie Derain’s Specialties:
Market research and intelligence, B2B communications, blogging and copywriting, SEO, basic HTML.
