MARKETING SUMMARY • I have 3 years marketing and sales experience at L'Oréal, where I was hired as 1 of 30 from 10, 000 + applications (Top 0.3%) for The Times Top 20 Grad Program. I was promoted 2 months early for good results. • As co-leader of the Commercial Brand Team for hair care and styling, I gained skills in brand strategy, leadership and teamwork. The UK was made lead country for a key launch after a presentation to Europe. I lead the retailer strategy for a new category launch. A severely threatened brand was saved from being de-listed and the brands achieved 5% of divisional turnover but 12% of profit due to good ROI analysis. • As Brand Manager for L'OréalProfessionnelHomme, a men's salon range, I created a promotional magazine for 2 new launches, featuring product guides, expert interviews & advertisements. As a result the growing brand increased 200% year on year and the magazine costed below budget.
SALES SUMMARY • As Account Manager for Garnier (L'Oréal owned) on Sainsburys, one of the Top 5 accounts, I gained key skills in influence, presentations and P&L managements. I managed 5 brands in 4 categories. and was responsible for driving and managing sell-out, turnover, share & profit. • Results included: maintaining breaking sales records for 3 brands (e.g. +36% & +29%), 3 brands at 1.5 x shelf space to market share ratio and creating a best-in-class EPoS, P&L & market share modelling tool. I also negotiated average category promo spend of 33% off full gate fee, achieved the highest account gross margin for a key profit brand, won the best Account Presentation Award for consumer insight and was entrusted with a new category from good results. • Part of my role included sales forecasting and 4 of my 5 brands were Top 20 for divisional accuracy.
