Jade Mossop

Summary

With over seventeen years of industry experience, I've cultivated a versatile skill set spanning marketing, content production, PR, events, and brand strategy. Throughout my career, I've excelled in guiding global FMCG, hospitality, and lifestyle brands towards heightened engagement and achieving benchmarked conversion rates. Grounded in a profound passion for luxury travel, ecotourism, and conservation, I possess a nuanced understanding of brand perception and positioning.

In my current capacity as an Independent Contractor, I spearhead content production initiatives for esteemed brands such as Marriott International Hotel Group. From conceptualization to execution, I ensure the delivery of premium content across various print and digital platforms, both locally and internationally.

My tenure as a Global Creative Marketing Manager at Elevate Brands - Seller X further refined my expertise in devising and implementing comprehensive marketing strategies for a diverse portfolio of 33 FMCG brands. By leveraging strategic insights and innovative approaches, I led impactful rebranding efforts, resulting in significant increases in conversion rates and brand visibility.

Previously, as the Managing Director of Red Carpet Creative, I cultivated enduring partnerships within the luxury hospitality and FMCG sectors. Through meticulously planned marketing campaigns and high-impact events, I consistently elevated brand engagement, conversion, and adoption.

My skill set encompasses strategic planning, creative direction, team management, and budget forecasting, supported by proficiency in various software and platforms, including Amazon Seller Central, Meta Business, and Adobe Creative Suite.

Academically, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and Theatre Arts from the esteemed University of Cape Town, complemented by certificates in Business Management and Interior Design & Decor. These diverse qualifications inform my holistic approach to business and underscore my commitment to excellence in every endeavor.
