We sat down with Ellis and asked him a few questions to get to know him better:
Hi Ellis! Firstly, what made you want to work in Digital Marketing?
My interest first started when I was a teenager and technology started developing with smartphones becoming more prominent in our everyday lives. I was fascinated by the (at the time) new applications that allowed us to connect with others through multiple forms of media. I also had an interest in creating videos and graphics online and would teach myself and experiment on photo and video editing softwares. At University, my interest in digital marketing grew further through various modules and events I attended as I gained more knowledge and insight into the field. I even ended up writing my dissertation on the engagement of social media! From this, I knew what I wanted to do after University, and I feel that TPD Digital is the ideal place to start my career in a field I have a passion for.
What are your goals?
At TPD Digital, I hope to gain a more comprehensive understanding of working within the field of digital marketing and to put the theory and skills I have developed over the years into practice. In the future, I hope to be in a position where I can lead teams to help solve problems using modern technology and contribute positively towards the socio-economic development of our society.
On a personal level, my goals are to travel to various parts of the world (after the pandemic). More specifically at the top of my bucket list, I want to go on a gondola in Venice and to visit Mount Fuji in Japan.
How has your first week been here at TPD Digital?
My first week has been a great introduction to the role and company. Working here is an excellent opportunity to get involved in various roles of the digital marketing process. Tom has been very professional and made me feel incredibly welcome, and I am excited to carry on learning and implementing new skills under his guidance.
And finally, what are your interests?
First and foremost, I have a huge interest in sport, most notably Football and I am an avid Leicester City supporter. Being able to watch my team win the Premier League was one of the greatest moments of my life! Other sports I have an interest in include boxing, basketball and various athletics. I love travelling to other countries and experiencing different cultures and points of views. Having just moved to the Newcastle-Under-Lyme area, I enjoy exploring and finding new things to do. Finally, in my spare time, I like to go to the gym and relax by playing video games and watching movies.
Thank you Ellis, and welcome to TPD Digital!
