Introduction
|
This is, essentially, the long version of my working resumè. It features an outline of my experiential/event marketing work, dating back to about eight (8) years ago.
My work experience extends far beyond that though (about fifteen (15) years now) and I may get around to adding it all here, but for now I'm only including semi-major work. This
is a work in progress and i will be adding work both old and new to it constantly. If you like what you see and need an ammended version or a Microsoft Word .doc,
drop me a line via email and i'll send one along.
Most of the images are only thumbnails at the moment. I'm working to get a gallery of all my work up and online soon.
