Review my portfolio (here for the good and the ruthless 😅)
Hey there!
I graduated from college in 2020 with degrees in both Graphic Design and Marketing, and spent about 5 years on an in-house marketing and business development team in a pretty hybrid role. I worked on everything from general brand management to presentations, signage work, photography management, infographics, website management, social media, etc. More recently, my job expanded into the marketing operations side of things - helping cleanup CRM data, integrate AI, research, test and integrate software, data analytics, etc.
I decided to leave that job after I had my baby about a year ago, to pursue a freelance or part time role (I've been doing some contract work with this same company since, but that is about to end). I've had some success doing one off jobs on Upwork or with people I know (hence the logo work), but would really like to land something that has a bit more consistency. The majority of what I worked on was the day to day, keep the business going or back end type stuff, a lot of which isn't super impressive on a portfolio. Some things, I can't share due to NDA. Which is why even after 5 years in the field, it's a little sparse.
I really enjoyed the in-house space, where I did a variety of different things any given day, and would love to land a role on a marketing team doing similar work. I'm particularly interested in the education (higher ed or primary) space, but I'm not being picky. It would be great to have some eyes on my portfolio to see what others think, and what I could revise or add to better align with my ideal role and what my experience is. Also, any advice on how anyone in a similar type of role has found success finding work. Thanks in advance!
