Education Marketing | Telco Marketing

Joel Reed — Marketing Professional

I’m Joel Reed, a Marketing Professional, Designer, Developer, and Analyst based in beautiful Shropshire. I specialise in working with education and telco organisations 🔥

I have over 15 years of professional experience and specialise in supporting education and telco brands to supercharge their growth. With my background in industry, I can engage in authentic conversations about technology, products, and sector developments, while also offering effective strategies to help organisations unlock new opportunities.

After graduating with First Class Honours in Interactive Media, I worked for two of the UK’s top universities spending nine wonderful years in Higher Education designing and developing digital solutions, while also supporting high-level marketing activities.

I then moved into telecoms for four years, where I worked for the UK’s largest independent full fibre infrastructure builder, supporting B2B marketing activities within the wholesale channel. I managed a portfolio of over twenty clients, delivering tailored marketing strategies that contributed towards our marketing team generating over £2M (TCV) in a calendar year.

Following this, I joined an award-winning digital learning agency, based in London, and led their key marketing activities for 18 months, which included content development, digital marketing, web development, direct marketing, event management, and stakeholder engagement.

I’m now open to new and exciting full-time job opportunities, preferably on a hybrid basis in the West Midlands area. If you are interested in working with an experienced, personable, and hard working marketing professional, or you are a recruiter looking to fill a role, then let’s talk!
