Lisa Robin - Marketing Assistant
What is your current position and how long have you worked at PoLR?
My current position at PoLR is marketing assistant, I do copywriting, blog administration and I have my own SEO clients too. I started at PoLR as part of work experience in the summer before my honours year and I never really left :)
What is your working background and how did you wind up working in this industry?
I've only been working full time after graduating for just over a year so previous to that I was studying marketing at Glasgow Caledonian so my background was in traditional offline marketing. That soon changed!
What is your favourite aspect of your role here at PoLR?
My favourite aspect centre around the SEO side of my job because you can see results when I send the reports over every month. I like the strategising and the planning involved oh and the lists, everyone is a fan of the list aren't they?!
What is your proudest achievement that you have that you have carried out for PoLR?
I've actually had quite a few seemingly small achievements that were important to me as this has been my first job since graduating. For instance, seeing my first pieces of copywriting up on a client's new website, having my first meeting wheter it be for SEO, social media or copywriting with our clients oh and bringing in my first sale from a report I had written.
What are your favourite websites?
- For fun : 'Damn you Auto-correct' is one that has me beside my self with laughter (go look at it now!) my boyfriend tried to ruin it for me by saying they are all made up but I don't believe him!
- For Work : It has to be SEO Moz, I check it everyday it's a great way to keep up with what's going on in the world of SEO and online marketing.
- For Reference : Really boring but it has to be Wikipedia - mostly for useless general information; How old is Steve Martin? Was .... in this film? Or one of my latest ones, why do people hang shoes over telephone wires? This introduced me to the shoe tree...
Do you have any guilty pleasures ?
All my guilty pleasures centre around reality TV and I'm not (that) ashamed to say it, well.... I'll give you a clue - G.T.L
