Account director
London office

“I started as a graduate at Four Communications in Dubai back in 2008, and I'm now an account director working in the London office.

I've had the opportunity to work across almost every type of account over the last few years, from corporate to travel and consumer. It's given me a good foundation to build on, as well as a chance to discover what I really enjoy – working in sports. I'm now part of the Sports, Arts & Sponsorship team in London and my clients include Lloyds TSB 2012 partnership, Rugby Football Union and Chinatown.

Starting out my career in the UAE was a great opportunity to fast-track my skills and I learnt an incredible amount in the two years I spent there - everything from basic media relations to crisis communications strategy. Coming back to the UK has enabled me to use everything I have learnt in a new context, as well as really develop my creative thinking and challenge myself to come up with ideas that push the boundaries.

I really enjoy being able to work across such a diverse set of clients, and even across countries when we work with our UAE offices on joint projects. Every client has different requirements - one day I'll be writing stories for a website whilst the next I'll be managing media at a national event. I'm also very lucky to have a great team of people around me not only to learn from, but also to have a laugh with at the end of a sometimes long day!”
