Projects
NEC Birmingham - UPS Solar, While working at UPS Solar, I independently managed and organised our presence at the NEC Show, one of the UK’s leading expos. I took full ownership of the project — from planning and logistics to execution — designing and setting up a bespoke stand aimed at driving footfall and generating high-quality leads. By creating an engaging and informative space, I was able to proactively connect with prospective clients, boost brand visibility, and contribute to the company’s overall sales pipeline. This project demonstrated my ability to take initiative, manage large-scale events, and think creatively under pressure.
Seasonal Promotional Events - Inflatanation, During my time at Inflata Nation, I played a key role in planning and executing promotional campaigns tied to major events and seasonal periods, such as Christmas and the World Cup. These campaigns involved coordinating with multiple sites, producing targeted content, and promoting themed offers and activities designed to increase attendance and engagement. I created both digital and in-person marketing materials, using a variety of platforms to build buzz and excitement around each event. These projects allowed me to blend creativity with strategy, and taught me how to effectively manage time-sensitive marketing across multiple locations.
