Fashion_PR_London

My name is Laura Lewis, and I graduated from the London College of Fashion in July 2008, where I studied Fashion Marketing and Promotion. I am seeking work in Marketing and PR. I have excellent administrative, project management, communication and organisation skills, and an ability to work under pressure.

I am a hardworking dedicated person with an initial love for fashion. Since graduating, I have assisted River Island in their press office, and I have undertaken some freelance work as a Wardrobe Mistress on a new TV show for Sky 1. I have also worked as press liaison for Eurogamer at their expo in Leeds and London. Currently I am working as an Events Co-ordinator and Web content and Product Researcher for Eclipse Leisure. I am responsible for handling any queries, and liaising between the clients and the venues of any Christmas and Summer parties that the company has booked on the system. I am also working on one of the company's 'sister' websites. My main duties include; uploading content, researching products to feature on the website, and writing the content for the website. Before, and during my studies I worked within the PR department of a large cosmetics company, with a freelance fashion PR during London Fashion Week September 2005, and I also worked within the press office GAP. I worked within the PR team for 8 weeks, assisting with the preparation for their A/W 2007 collection launch.

I am very flexible and confident with a ‘can do’ attitude to work. I am eager to learn new things, and I am a very fast learner. I am a self-motivated person with high organisation skills and I will go the ‘extra mile’ when required. I have over two years of administration experience, which I feel has helped me to prioritise my workload and meet deadlines, and has made me a very organised person. It has also given me the ability to use word, excel, email and internet packages. I also have very good people skills, which I feel helps me to communicate effectively and efficiently with others.
