This is my first post on this forum so I hope I am not breaking any rules by providing a brief introduction.
I have been in the Shipping Industry in the UK in a variety of roles for the past 15 years or so. My most recent role has been Customs manager for International shipping but during this time I have always looked for ways of promoting the company, almost as an unnofficial sideline.
The company I work for is a large, privately owned freight fowarder with offices in the UK, Ireland and USA with a network of agents all over the world.
I was offered a promotion this week to Marketing Manager - A new role within the company.
Hence my arrival here. I hope to learn from you as I'm sure this new position will require a very quick learning curve in itself.
My initial objective is to set us up on social media to promote the company and report back in six months. In addition I wish to increase web traffic.
Obviously if there is anything I can help the members here with I will certainly try.
Kind regards,
Darren.
