Hello,
I am a recent graduate from the University of
Toronto, I double majored in Professional Writing & Communication and
Psychology (strongly focusing on Social Psychology).
Currently, I am employed at Owen Media Partners, where I work as an
Advertising & Research Support Assistant and Customer Care
Representative. In this position I work closely with potential and
current advertisers. I identify possible sales leads through both
emails and phone call inquiries, and also butter them up before I pass
them on to our Sales Representatives. I update the directory for
MacRAE's Blue Book (USA directory) and the Canadian Trade Index to
ensure that listing are correct. For current clients I make sure they
are satisfied with the services by conducting follow-up calls,
checking information, answering any questions and making sure that the
Sales Rep passed along the correct information.
In my role as Advertising & Research Support, I create copy for
products and services for current advertisers, describing their
headings so as to draw in more traffic.
I have not worked in direct media sales as a Sales Representative,
aside from working in Retail Stores, however I would greatly love the
opportunity to do so, especially in an international environment.
I speak and write English fluently, having grown up in Canada, and
also speak household Finnish. I have some knowledge of French, from
living in Quebec for 6 years, though it is out of date.
I am skilled in Professional Writing and Communication.
I am an EU citizen and am flying to Finland on the 16th of December.
I would love to speak to you more about any opportunities you might have.
