Marketing & Engagement

What do you love most about your role?

No two days are the same. Sometimes I can be really hands on looking at the optimisation of a campaign or training team members. But I also get to work on more top level planning such as content marketing frameworks, or meet with big-hitters such as Google and Facebook to discuss opportunities for the BHF. I also work with a very talented team and I enjoy supporting their development.

What do you love most about the BHF?

The culture. The BHF isn’t too large you feel overwhelmed by the amount of people but it’s not so small that you fight to get projects off the ground. Work life balance is encouraged, there’s carol singing at the Christmas party, Yoga at lunch time and a softball team. We also have some fantastic content to work with, the real life case studies are so inspiring and make you realise what it’s all for.

Choose three words to describe working life at the BHF

Inspiring. Nurturing. Fast-paced.

What attracted you to the charity?

The BHF appealed to me as they were innovative, fun and brave. I could distinctly remember their annual report from 2012 that was designed as a durable origami wallet, their Mending Broken Hearts campaign and of course the infamous Vinnie Jones CPR advert. I wanted to be part it!

What are the best things about working for the BHF?

The people. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The BHF genuinely care about your professional development and wellbeing.

Also, when you work in an office it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture, but the BHF regularly hold events where people living with heart disease come to speak to us about the impact that our research has had on their lives. It keeps you connected to the cause.
