Jason in a few words
Hello
My name is Jason (I always end up shortening to Jase when I first introduce myself) and I'm ready, willing and able to bring my digital media experience and enthusiasm to your planned piece of work.
My background for over 10 years covers optimising department functions, leading a team and project management.
Sitting at the intersection of customer service and account management, I'm highly motivated to make every touch point count whether it's working with external or internal clients.
I've been responsible for a (£9 million) client portfolio (30% of total revenue in my last employee role) which contributed to a successful takeover bid for this digital media agency.
My superpower is my passion and I've built a reputation as someone who does what they say. I'm a lifelong learner and follow a growth mindset which I believe is all part of my untapped potential to add value across business operations and projects.
I welcome the opportunity to hear about your project and talk with you about how I can help.
Thanks
Jase.
