Could you explain a little more about your position as a Digital Marketing Consultant?

My role predominately is to digitise businesses. In order to do this, I need a deep understanding of what the business needs from their marketing spend and put together a strategy that would help deliver the most return on advertising spend.  A huge part of this role is to have a deep understanding of my client’s business itself and how it operates alongside a wide knowledge of all online channels. It is a hybrid role, so I manage my accounts as well as acquire new business to build a personal portfolio of clients.

Describe a typical working day for you as a Digital Marketing Consultant at KMG?

My commute to the office is around 90 mins long, so I have some extra time to check my emails and prep for any meetings, I have that day. Once I am in the office, I find myself re-organising my to-do list in accordance to what is most urgent as opposed to what is most important. As mentioned, my role is two-fold and so half the day is dedicated to managing my current accounts and sitting down with the account management team, delivery team and clients to assess performance as well as uncovering new business opportunities and pitching for new accounts.
