Demand Generation Content Executive

I have a strong interest in the evolving world of demand generation, and what this means from a content marketing perspective. I’m always on the hunt for the latest tactic or trend, in order to ensure my content stays top of mind.

One of my favourite parts of being a content creator, is being able to execute on the podcast for sales people: Redefining Outbound. All the way through from sourcing the guest, through to the edit and snippets, I’m making sure the message of the guest is conveyed in the strongest way possible.

Expertise
  • Cold calling and why it’s not a dead outbound channel
  • Outbound strategy more generally - such as the importance of an ABM model
  • The foundations of personalisation in outreach
  • The modern-day sales funnel and buying journey
Education
  • University of York: BA History Graduated with a 2:1
