What got you into the world of communications?

Having studied English Language and Linguistics at University, I’ve had the opportunity to study, analyse and craft different forms of discourse and communication. My degree has given me a strong foundation in analysing how communication works and how to adapt it effectively for different purposes. 

‍

I really enjoyed the challenge of looking beyond surface-level meaning and really thinking about the function of a message - who it’s for, what it’s trying to achieve and how best to shape it. So it felt wholly obvious to me that I should be entering a career where I could continue to apply and build on this; whether it’s persuasive writing, creative writing, brand messaging, or public relations. 

‍

During University, I also took up extra-curricular roles, internships and projects that involved both written and spoken communications and content creation. These experiences taught me the importance of establishing relationships whilst allowing me to show my creative side, which is something that I’m excited to bring forward into my role here at Schon&Co where the team is really challenging the typical conventions of corporate communications, with some seriously cool content for clients.

What attracted you to join Schon&Co?

When I first came across Schon&Co, I loved the genuine nature of the team, the positive and collaborative working atmosphere and how passionate everyone was about the work they do. From everything I’ve already experienced, it is clear that the team values authenticity and the supportive culture makes Schon&Co a place where people are not only encouraged to grow professionally but also feel valued on a personal level. Oh, and I love that no question is ever considered a stupid question!

‍

What company values are important to you?

All of the company's values are important to me but I really believe in being down to earth and accountable. Being approachable and relatable is a key part in building positive and long-lasting relationships, whether it's with clients or colleagues. Being accountable and showing up is also key to keeping our promises to clients and delivering the best possible results. Our clients’ success is our priority, and we’re here to make sure they can always count on us.

What are you most looking forward to as a Junior Consultant at Schon&Co? 

Trying new things; learning from a talented and creative team and gaining hands-on experience in the fast-paced world of communications. I’m excited to contribute my skills while also developing new ones, see my work make a real impact and be part of a team that celebrates wins together. 

Aside from exploring language, what else do you enjoy doing and can’t wait to share with the team?

I love walking and cuddling my dogs, Buddy and Holly, and I can’t wait to show the team thousands of photos of them. I also love listening to boyband music; I’ve been in Spotify’s top 0.001% of Jonas Brothers listeners for two years in a row - let’s see if I can make it three and turn the whole team into fans!
