i currently work for Columbo as the brand marketing lead, my main venues being Blues Kitchen, The Old Queens Head and The Parakeet, as well as Maiden Voyage festival, Outro and Eastern Electrics. day to day, i oversee my creative team, lead all campaigns, plan strategy, look after brand identity, organise shoots and keep a steady eye on market trends.

i have loved working at Columbo. i love how hands on i get to be in all the venues, and i'm thankful that i have the freedom to create, and lead socials with a clear vision. my want is always to produce the best work, in the way that makes the most sense (while having the most fun). one thing i take the most pride in over my time at Columbo, would be the success of both social rebrands for The Blues Kitchen & The Old Queens Head. i felt as though there was a disconnect between brand ethos/identity vs how we showed up online, and there was so much space for the introduction of personality as well as growth of community. understanding audience has always been my strong suit and is genuinely something i'm really passionate about (give the people what they want!). we’re in a constantly evolving space, and i love being at the forefront of that. i also take great pride in heading up my amazing creative team, both collaborating and helping everyone play to their strengths. team work makes the dream work, or something. 

although my role has evolved moreso to overseeing strategy, my absolute favourite part of working here is still the video creation. whether it's a Cig Break Take for Queens, a POV night out at Blues or a quick shot foodie vid for Parakeet, i love being able to dive back into hands-on shooting and editing. we work in such a fast-paced industry so the stream of content is ever-flowing, which definitely adds to the excitement.
