Laura Smith
Senior Marketing and Communications Manager
About
As a seasoned Communications Manager with 10 years of experience in Amsterdam, London and New Zealand, I have a proven track record of delivering exceptional results in complex and fast-paced environments. My expertise spans across various industries, including public sector, broadcast PR (agency), and journalism, and I have honed my skills in areas such as media relations, crisis management, internal communications, and stakeholder engagement. My experience working overseas has given me a global perspective and the ability to navigate cultural differences and work effectively with diverse teams. I thrive in fast-paced and challenging environments, and I'm always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow. I have successfully led the development and execution of integrated communications strategies that have driven brand awareness and engagement across multiple channels. I have also managed high-profile events, created compelling content, and built strong relationships with key stakeholders.
