Kasim Profile Picture (2).png

Hello!

My name is Kasim and I'm a CIM-qualified marketing professional with a passion for supporting businesses through the transformative power of digital marketing. 

With over 6 years of experience in this dynamic field, I've had the privilege of working on both agency and client-side, gaining valuable insights and refining my skills along the way.

Over 6 Years of Experience

My apprenticeship at Diva Creative was the perfect start to my career, exposing me to all the different aspects of marketing, from copywriting and graphic design to online advertising and content creation. I gained so much knowledge and hands-on experience, which ultimately grew my passion even further!

During my time at RNN Group, I developed my marketing skills further with a focus on the digital aspect. Through my hard work and drive to learn more, I was promoted twice from being a digital marketing assistant to managing a team of 3 as a senior digital marketing officer.

 I joined Workpays as a marketing executive. A few months into my probation I was quickly promoted to senior marketing executive and now to marketing manager. Being in this role, I help guide and train the team, whilst also implementing the company's marketing strategy and function as a whole.

East Midlands Apprenticeship Ambassador Network  |  2023 - Present

As a former apprentice, I'm a huge advocate of apprenticeships as it's not only helped me fast-track in my career as a digital marketer but has also taught me vital skills along the way.

 

Through my role as an apprenticeship ambassador, I will be raising awareness about the incredible benefits and opportunities that apprenticeships offer, as well as sharing my own story through career fairs and presentations to colleges/sixthforms.

Cube Foundation  |  2021 - Present

I decided to volunteer at Cube Foundation and give back to the community because I know firsthand how challenging it is to make something of yourself, coming from one of the most deprived areas in the country with a lack of opportunity and resources available.

 

I believe everyone deserves a fair chance to succeed, regardless of their background or where they come from, which is why I took on the voluntary role of marketing manager at Cube Foundation. The foundation seeks to make a positive impact on the community and those in need, whether it be through community litter-picking events, educating the youth, or international relief.
