A graduate who is currently seeking employment in the Advertising/Media Planning sector. I enjoy being creative in a challenging environment and want to aid businesses to connect with the customers by producing effective advertising campaigns. My perfect job role will be one that requires me to develop a deep understanding of a clients business, devise campaign strategies and select the appropriate interactive marketing techniques to ensure the message is deliver to the right audience.
