    uniE621 Digital Marketing Graphics
    I have designed monthly campaigns for EURES CrossBorder with focus areas such as recruitment, tips, events, webinars and wellbeing. The graphics have had a 300% increase in social media presence with the promotional campaigns. The primary strategy for each sector is based on Who, What & How Eures help with job seekers. Consistency with colour and font selection for each campaign is a perfect recipe. I designed an intelligent Q&A campaign for Twitter where the viewer had to tap for the answer. This style had a better click rate and social engagement. graphicdesigner
    uniE621 Recruitment33

Three multiplied by eleven equals thirty-three. GaryMac deployed the ‘thirty-three’ strategy to create a powerful outcome that can enhance the creativity of the business.

    uniE621 Delta Software
    The Greek symbol for delta is a triangle which means ‘change in’. Mathematically the symbol Δ denotes the change of quantity. Delta being the fourth symbol in the Greek alphabet shows four levels of connectivity: Admin / Manager / Supplier / Customer. The name Delta was chosen, as this related to the surge of data that is ever-changing (playing on the metaphor of the delta estuary, an abundance of possibilities) and reference to the four levels of services provided.
