Interview
When and how did you get your start in marketing?
I was working another job & started to learn to code HTML, CSS & JavaScript in my spare time. After a little while, I took the plunge and quit my job to spend a few months learning to code full time. I managed to get a job in a digital marketing agency about a month later, and the rest is history as they say…
What does a typical day look like for you?
I’m based in the UK, and all of my team and the majority of my company are based in the U.S. So, being around 6 hours ahead, a typical day for me starts with a good few hours of focus time! This is the time for me to check goal progress, get stuck into a task or project, schedule this week’s manual/blast campaigns, conduct email health checks, and work on documentation…that sort of thing. After lunch is when I catch up with the rest of the team, have (virtual) project & strategy meetings, take part in brainstorming sessions, and do the collaborative elements of my role.
What brings you joy in your role?
Well, I’m an email marketer and I love email, so I’m lucky that I get to do something that gives me joy every day! Specifically, I love getting stuck into projects – whenever I’m ready to close out a project, I’m always thinking about what the next one could be!
What is one piece of advice that you would give to a new Iterable user?

What does customer experience mean to you and how does Iterable play a role?

Iterable allows for all of this due to the combination of the way data can be inputted, stored, segmented, and utilized, and the marketing tools the platform provides for you to connect with your audience.
What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given?
“Pay it forward” – if everyone followed this advice each day, the world would be a better place.
What’s one thing that can instantly make your day better?
