Press ReleasesYet another new member of staff joins us in the CJ offices in the avant-garde, recondite and trailblazing London district of Putney. Notable residents (past and present) of Putney (according to Wikipedia) include Sir Richard Branson, Clement Atlee, Marc Bolan, Simon Le Bon and Bobby Moore. We have great pleasure in announcing a new addition to this list – Vikki Hearne, who is the new Account Manager at CJ.
Vikki has joined us in Emmanuel’s team to support him strategically and tactically with the portfolio he oversees as Account Director. Would you like to know more about Vikki? Let me start with a photo of her which looks like a happy holiday snap.
And now let us take the time to get to know her more with a quick interview
So you are an Account Manager at CJ. What did you do before you worked here?
Well I worked as a Marketing Manager for a Canadian software company called Eedo. It was a private company which merged with a US company last year called OutStart who are the leading provider for Social Business and Learning Solutions (Editor’s note – I think that we could have probably guessed Vikki’s job title from the way she described her previous company).
Where do you come from? Tell us a little bit about it.
I live in Greenwich in south-east London which is also where time is from. As well as Greenwich I have also lived in Sardinia for six months, France for six months and Florida for a year and a half.
What interests you in affiliate marketing?
As someone who has worked in marketing, I find affiliate marketing interesting primarily because of the results it can deliver if used well. I enjoy the fact that it is so fast-growing because it is cost-efficient and quantifiable for both the affiliate and the merchant. It seems like it is a win-win solution if you know what you are doing on both sides.
How are you finding CJ so far?
The training has been great and the people are so welcoming, friendly and helpful (collective CJ blush). I’m excited to be working with a fantastic network of people in a constantly-changing industry and I look forward to meeting people in the wider industry over the coming months.
Let’s up the pace for some quickfire questions
- What are your hobbies?
- Snowboarding, running, power-kite flying (eh?) and diving.
- What is your favourite colour?
- Yellow
- What is your favourite film?
- Tough one as there are so many greats but I would have to say that up there would be the Green Mile, The Goonies and Con Air.
- What was the last book you read.
- Twilight – hated it, stupid vampires
- If you were an animal, which would it be?
- A Giant Squid – I love the Ocean and these things can morph into anything (editor’s note – anything??)
Well many warm welcomes Vikki, with your morphous shape-shifting animals and their intriguing ability to take on the form of apparently anything in the world. Maybe over time you will learn to love CJ’s new favourite animal, the much-maligned, gold-hearted Blob Fish
