Hi, I’m Georgia

A little bit about me…

I studied Marketing Management at Northumbria University in Newcastle and graduated in 2018 with a first class honours degree. During my time at university, I spent a year in industry working as a Marketing Assistant for a successful travel company based in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside.

Upon returning to university to complete my final year, I knew I wanted to continue to further my work experience and keep myself integrated within the business world. To do this I secured an internship at Saddle Skedaddle where I worked to assist the small marketing team with a variety of different exciting projects.

Following graduation, I secured a fantastic opportunity to work for a London based Private Members Club, Pi Capital. An exclusive organisation that convenes extraordinary events with the world’s most sought-after speakers. Gaining an insight into the world of events planning and management at such an elite top level for a year was a truly eye-opening experience.

When the opportunity arose to become a Virtual Assistant and own my own business it was the perfect time to fulfil my dream of providing support to small local businesses.

My skills…

- I really pride myself on my organisation skills, always being able to prioritise the most important tasks to be completed each working day.

- Time management skills are vital for this job. I make sure to plan and structure my day in a way that enables me to maximise my time in the most efficient way possible to ensure I stay on top of my workload.

- Communication, is the key to success when working virtually. Keeping in regular contact with your clients via email or phone calls is so important to make sure you keep each other “in the loop”.

- Listen up! Being able to really listen and hear the needs of your clients is a skill I personally love to put into practice.  Small business owners have fascinating stories to tell and taking the time to listen to them gives me a greater understanding of how I can cater to their wants and needs. 

- Having a first class honors degree in Marketing Management definitely comes in handy! The rise in social media, especially Instagram has given small businesses a place to showcase their products and services as well as a voice to interact with consumers. Managing these platforms can be tricky so having a marketing background is crucial when helping clients to navigate them.
