Brief Introduction

Posted by darren.brundell on 50 Points
Hi everyone,

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.

    Darren -

    I'd put most of this in your Member Profile and simply post questions or respond to questions.

    If you want to do that, let me know and I'll close this post and refund your points.

    Hi Carrie,

    Thanks for your message - Yes no problem at all I'll do that. Sorry for the confusion - Just in other forums I've been on there is an introduction section so I was not sure what to do.

    Thanks,
    Darren.
