About Me
ruben@tcd.ie I Upper Mayor Street Dublin 1 I +4917657668935
As a highly motivated, innovative and hard-working person I seeking to utilise my business and creative knowledge within the industry. The combination of a BSc in Product Design with my current MSc in Digital Marketing Strategy has provided me with the expertise in digital marketing, concept development, creative thinking and ethical considerations within the workspace. I have created digital audits for companies to refine their SEO along with enhancing their digital presence by creating search and display advertisements. Customer relations skills has been something I have been able to hone over the last years by working in retail, but also fulfilling client briefs for the Irish government and other companies during my time at university and throughout my internships. Along with interpersonal and creative skills, I have acquired technical experience utilising coding languages and programmes to analyse and evaluate sets of data, as well as incorporating technology into prototypes.
