Responsibilities:
Advertising traffic and production

Experience:
12 years in advertising – 7 of them in her current role. Broad production expertise covering press, outdoor and printed materials. Excellent negotiating skills and great working relationships with suppliers. Experienced in dealing with advertising approval processes such as BACC.

Background:
Born in Edinburgh, Sam worked for 10 years with the Halifax Building Society as a PA to the Personnel Manager before switching careers to ‘traffic’ in advertising. As for traffic, she loves nipping through it in her Astra Convertible with personalised number plate – and drawing detailed road maps for anyone unsure of their directions.

Interests:
Shopping for clothes but more specifically bargain-hunting. She loves eating out too, but mainly because she rarely remembers to shop for food.

Favourite Brands:
TK Maxx, McArthur Glen

Music / Movies / TV / Books:
Dancing Queen by ABBA – that sums Sam up. She’s seen Mama Mia umpteen times. And so predictably she likes any kind of ‘party music’, especially Barry White. Also into Northern Soul, and old smoothies like Bryan Ferry and George Benson. She may also have been a detective in a previous life – Crimewatch is her favourite TV show.

Vice:
Leopard skin print clothes
