Work History

Freelance Events Manager

Freelance
UK Wide
06.2012 - Current

I found my calling working in the events industry in 2009. Having started as a brand ambassador I worked my way up to being a freelance events manager collaborating with well known global brands and companies on their campaigns in both the UK and abroad. Over the last 12 years I have overseen campaigns for such clients as Samsung, Davidoff, Nokia, Facebook, Amazon, Disney and Coca-Cola to name a few. This line of work has taken me as far a field as Egypt, Barcelona, Italy and even the Olympics in Rio De Janeiro.

Having worked successfully in this industry for a number of years I then started my own events staffing agency in JE Events. JE Events was one of the UK’s leading promotional staffing and experiential marketing agencies. Established in 2014 in the trendy hot spot of East London, we went on to become the go to agency to work with in promoting brands, products, companies, PR stunts and much more. As well as staffing we provided full and comprehensive event planning, project management, event production and social media management.

With the founders having a combined 20 years industry experience we understood exactly what was required in the planning, production, staffing, execution and tracking of the events services we provided.
Running JE Events provided me with invaluable experience and taught me the importance of all things B2B, working alongside clients and brands as well as running all aspects of an events buisness.

Unfortunately lockdown caused JE Events to close and I have since returned to the field of freelance events management with a whole wealth of new experience and skills at my disposal.
