Marketing Executive
Before Wilkie, a 14-month placement at Siemens Digital Industries Software where I rebuilt a struggling global advocacy programme and grew its newsletter from 1,200 to 8,000+ subscribers. At Wilkie, I was the first marketing hire. The function didn't exist. Within three months the first paid campaign had generated £135,000 in pipeline. Everything else you see here was built in the time since.

LinkedIn organic performance, measured unaided
No internal staff were briefed to engage with any post. Every number reflects genuine external interest.
The strongest signal was when an external user tagged four additional industry contacts into a thread without any prompt. That level of organic distribution only happens when the content is worth sharing.
Carousels hit up to 212% engagement rate. Text posts consistently reached 7–10%. The B2B benchmark for both is 2–5%.
Selected projects
Each one scoped, written, built, or managed directly — no agency for most of it.
01
Demand GenerationThe company had never run a paid campaign. I scoped the strategy, selected the agency, briefed all creative, and owned every targeting and budget decision across LinkedIn Ads, email, and SEO.
Result
£135,000 in pipeline, 4 attributed leads, 231 landing page visits — within three months.

02
CRM and PipelineThe sales team had no structured pipeline visibility. I designed and implemented Monday.com CRM from scratch, built lead source attribution across GA4 and Monday.com, trained the team, and handed it over — the first time the business could connect marketing activity to commercial outcomes.
Result
The business had never had this visibility. Built from scratch, trained, and handed over.

03
Email MarketingMailchimp can't host a stock list. Rather than work around it manually, I built a custom filterable product microsite alongside the campaign email — customers browsed live stock and enquired by reference number with no manual list management required.
Result
~40% open rate. 11%+ CTR. Warm audience built for future sends.

Siemens, CommunicationsLow engagement was being treated as a content quality issue. The actual problem was audience targeting and format. I rebuilt segmentation using Salesforce data, added Camtasia visual content, and presented a new programme vision to reverse declining participation across international markets.
Result
11% increase in advocate retention. 50+ renewals worldwide.

05
Brand and CreativeThere was no brand infrastructure when I joined. I rewrote the guidelines and produced the full suite independently — deck, brochures, catalogues, 1-pagers, product symbols, and all branded templates. Shot and edited 50+ photographs to give the business its first original visual library.
Result
Every piece built from nothing. Every piece in active sales use.

Website and SEOI wrote all copy for a new £20,000+ corporate website across six industrial sectors, managed UX review and agency coordination, and delivered the hard launch in April 2026. I built a 9-month SEO editorial roadmap after launch and identified AI search visibility as an emerging acquisition channel before most manufacturers in the sector had considered it.
Result
Live at onewilkie.com since April 2026, with SEO content in ongoing production.

Events and Stakeholder ManagementA commercially significant UK–China visit coordinated entirely in-house. I managed everything across marketing, operations, and senior leadership — logistics, scheduling, presentations, and every physical detail.
Result
Delivered without an external coordinator. Every detail owned in-house.
