Marketing professional for a large telco company based in Maidenhead so I have experience of how a business can use a blog as part of it’s wider marketing.
I love to write. Within my role I’ve been responsible for branding, copywriting and tone of voice on lots of customer facing Point of Sale.
I spent a year as the Communications Manager managing the messaging to 1800 retail staff members.
I set up my own personal blog writing about life and experiences in Berkshire and often work with local and national companies to give them exposure.
I have my own photography business, ‘Photo Jodie’ and I write a professional blog for that too.
I go to blogging and social media events for fun, including conferences and events such as Mumsnet Blog Fest, Tots 100 Blog Camp and Britmums
