Andrew - Sales Administrator
About me - I came to Bournemouth to study BA (Hons) Advertising and Marketing Communications, graduating with a 2:1 in 2010. Originally from Coventry I decided to stay here as it’s much nicer to walk my dogs along the amazing Bournemouth beaches rather than besides a grey skyscraper. My experience includes a placement year in a top London agency working with clients such as Wrigley’s, Dulux, Mars, and Dolmio. After winning a competition to develop new business I realised my passion in this area, client relationships, and pitching. I came to Adido because of their growing size, reputation and impressive client list.
Random fact - My home is like a zoo with dogs, fish, lizards, snakes and tortoises!
