rt brand communications

2012-12 - 2013-3 · 4 mos

Covering an existing team member who was on maternity leave, I worked alongside the in-house designers, developers and account handlers to help maintain RT Media's already excellent digital services. This included general HTML email template design and construction, initial site wireframing for a new web project and IT support for troubleshooting and resolving server and email issues - and everything inbetween! I really enjoyed working with the team at RT, who are all dedicated and passionate about the work they do.
