EGOMARK LDN
My first industry experience in fashion was for Egomark Ltd, a fashion agency and distributor. Here, I worked as a showroom sales and admin assistant. This involved producing seasonal budget forecasts, liaising with suppliers and managing stock flow. My favourite task in this role was the opportunity to attend trade shows both nationally and internationally. I was taken to SCOOP, Europe’s leading trade show, in Olympia, and Who’s Next in Paris in France. It was so enjoyable for me to have natural networking, do walkthroughs to assess the current trend climate, and take part in an interactive experience where I could take in the touch of materials and visuals.
KEY SKILLS:
- Accuracy to ensure precision in orders and timely deliveries
- Excel skills when producing forecasts and recounting PO’s
- Purchase order and tracking sheet experience
- Supplier communication
- Sales when working with clients placing orders
- Organisational skills
EUDON CHOI
At Eudon Choi, I undertook the role of Marketing Intern. I worked closely with creative teams when assisting in shoots for e-commerce and media such as Vogue Runway. Communicating with creatives, stylists and media for sample pulling and utilised my organisational skills to sort samples for efficient sample circulation. I managed samples on Excel and took responsibility for sending courier packages and in-person drop-offs where necessary.
I enjoyed utilising my creative skills at Eudon Choi in the marketing role. I created posters for Paris pop-up stores and London Fashion Week, and produced social media content using my photography skills. With creativity also came admin; I created seating charts, did venue research, sent out email marketing, and once an event was over, I would analyse and report on metrics.
I grew an interest in e-commerce and picked up on navigating Shopify quickly. I regularly updated bestsellers, carried out site audits and uploaded new collections. Accuracy was key when adding product descriptions, prices and SKU's. I learnt basic coding when encountering functional issues, improving my ability to work under pressure.
KEY SKILLS:
- Organisational skills to keep sample circulation efficient
- Analytical skills to reflect and evaluate event and social media performances
-Communication skills when liaising with suppliers and PR teams
