Work History

Digitally Driven
Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire

- Customised promotional strategies to meet the needs of each client, their products and services.
- Conducted regular competitive analyses and market assessments to stay current on trends and maintain readiness for any changes specific to their industry.
