HOW DID YOU GET THAT JOB?
Name: Corinne Campbell Job title: Marketing and Data Officer
When did you start your job? September 2011
So what does your job actually involve? I support the marketing and promotion of the Revolve, which is a quality standard designed to make the experience of shopping for re-used items as good as buying new, by helping re-use shops to improve standards. The job involves promoting the brand, communication with the general public about re-use and also providing ongoing support to re-use businesses going through Revolve accreditation.
Best / worst aspects? I love that each day can be different within my role as it covers such a diverse area from marketing the Revolve brand and general re-use, supporting Revolve re-use businesses to achieve Revolve accreditation and market researching and analysing data. The most enjoyable parts of my role are the satisfaction that I have helped a Revolve re-use business with a particular opportunity they want to achieve. This could be from supporting a business idea or telling a story about someone they have helped.
The worst aspect of this job is knowing that, in this day and age, people still cannot afford the basics in life. All Revolve re-use businesses are charities and many are in existence to provide services to the homeless and families on low incomes.
Looking back, what advice would you give to a young Corinne at the start of her career? Listen to advice given by others and do not be afraid to ask for support when you need it. If you are confused or lack direction to progress what you want to do, then speaking to others can help you to get focused and to achieve your goals.
And finally, what are you most looking forward to in 2015? By the end of 2015, I want the Revolve brand to be nationally recognised as the place to go and buy quality second-hand goods. I would love to see more repair services and an increase of consumers buying second-hand goods at their local Revolve accredited re-use stores.
