Teresa kick-started her career in marketing by plying potential employers with free drinks and copies of her CV when she was still a waitress.
This tactic must have worked, as she joined eMap Advertising as a Marketing Executive and progressed to Marketing Manager, working on music, TV and radio brands — including brand champion of Kiss FM — before progressing to Corporate Communications Manager.
As Account and New Business Director of creative agency, Point Blank, Teresa’s clients included MTV, BBC, Emap, Diesel and NotaBene. She followed this as the intriguingly titled Manager of Naked Greenhouse at Naked Communications, responsible for knowledge, media development and culture.
Before joining dnx, Teresa freelanced as a Business and Communications consultant, working with SMBs on improving efficiency and targeting.
If Teresa weren’t in marketing, she’d like to be a stunt woman. Outside of work she enjoys paragliding, diving, travelling and photography.
The strangest job Teresa’s ever had – though as we’ve ascertained, not the strangest job title – was selling burglar alarms for British Gas.
