• Curious: You ask "sharp questions" to find the real problem behind a request.
• Specialised: You quickly master the nuances of the UK Childcare Market (term-time demand and parent psychology).

Your Experience

• Agency Veteran: 5-10 years in Client Services or Account Management within a reputable South African or International marketing agency.
• Project Lead: 3+ years of hands-on project coordination and high-level brief writing.
