In my position as sales and marketing coordinator in Dlight I oversaw the development of specific sales and marketing techniques. In working with both the sales and marketing departments I implemented systems to ensure that everyone in the company continuously promotes the business when communicating with clients, while consistently maintaining the brand values. In my marketing capacity I worked to get the company’s name in the public domain through pr and branding exercises. I coordinated and created marketing plans and campaigns and worked with designers and producers to develop up-to-date ads and promotional material. I managed networking, b2b and b2c events and all aspects of social media resulting in the steady growth of all platforms.
