Experience

Creative Studio Manager@ HPS GROUP

July 19-March 20

I headed up the team and managed the day-to-day running of a busy studio, resourcing additional freelance support when required. My responsibilities included creating and managing the weekly planners and I also ensured the department’s timesheets were kept up to date. To facilitate the smooth running of the agency’s workflow, I regularly liaised with all account handlers and project managers across the business and advised on the briefing of projects into the studio. I was also responsible for trafficking multiple briefs from all the agency’s clients, adhering to tight deadlines while checking that every piece of work was on brand and followed CI. Importantly, I still found the time to be creative and was always keen to stay hands-on with the work. To this end, I introduced regular brainstorm sessions on creative projects to develop additional concepts with my team.
