Gavin Greer, our Digital Marketing Manager.
What is your position at Zymplify?
I was a Client Success Executive, but recently changed roles and I’m now the Digital Marketing Manager.
How long have you worked here?
18 months
What does a typical day at Zymplify involve?
I start off my day by answering client emails and checking their dashboards to see if they have active campaigns to monitor performance.
Then move on to either working on one of my projects (onboarding process now) or delivering our marketing services to clients, which could include building out campaigns myself, strategy meetings or briefing other departments on what’s needed.
How/Why did you get into Digital Marketing?
I really enjoy using all the different types of software that comes with working in the digital world. Also, I like the creativity that comes with creating and delivering campaigns
What did you study at university?
Media and Communications.
What do you enjoy the most about your job?
Creating and executing the actual campaigns.
What’s the most challenging part?
I suppose creating proposals for clients because they are all so different – we don’t do one size fits all pitches!
It’s challenging to create strategic plans but ultimately very rewarding when I work out what’s best for them.
What kind of skills do you think you need to succeed in Digital Marketing?
You really need to embrace the ‘new’, it’s a cliché to say everything changes so quickly but it’s true. There are also new ways of doing things and new software/technology to learn.
