Sophie
Our team have a wealth of knowledge and experience from over 25 years in the industry.
Let’s have a closer look at the company's Marketing & Business Development Manager
Sophie is an experienced Event Manager, with knowledge and experience of outdoor community events as well as corporate events, private events and weddings.
Sophie manages the marketing side of Koncept Productions but also helps with office duties and can be seen at events, mostly taking photos.
We’ve asked Sophie some questions to get to know her better.
What sort of duties do you have?
I’m responsible for all aspects of the company’s marketing, so looking after the website, ads, blog posts and all our social media. It’s my job to send out the newsletter, design leaflets and brochures. It’s also my job to work on income streams, the direction the business is taking and the goals we set each year.
Where did you work before this position?
Before this job, I was an event coordinator for a town council, where I organised a programme of community events throughout the year, ranging from small craft fairs to a one-day music festival that welcomes 10,000 people throughout the day. It was a great adventure and where I met Martin.
What was your first job?
My first job was at university, I worked in the student union as a receptionist. I was also an estate agent on the weekends. Neither of which I loved but as they say, it paid the bills!
What’s the worst job you’ve ever had, and what did you learn from it?
I had a job for all of a month back after I graduated university. It was an admin role for an IT recruitment company, and it was the most miserable experience of my life.
I learnt a few things in my short time there, the first being that the people you work with are everything. The managers can make or break a team and they chose the ethos and atmosphere of a workplace. A good manager changes everything.
The second thing that I learnt was that I wasn’t content in a job that didn’t push me, that didn’t teach me anything or support my growth. I need to be busy to thrive and I need to be challenged to enjoy my job.
Can you speak more than one language?
Yes! I can speak fluent French. I actually grew up in France from age 5 to 18. It’s a little rusty these days because I don’t use it as much as I used to but it’s still there somewhere.
What’s the best concert you’ve been to?
This is a tough one, I’ve been to a few brilliant shows but must confess I prefer smaller, intimate venues rather than larger ones or festival. This year I saw country artist Jordan Davis who was fantastic and I’m looking forward to seeing Taylor Swift again this summer but the best one I went to was a Dan and Shay gig in Bush Hall. There were only 100 people in the room, and it was the two of them with a guitar and it was amazing.
What TV show have you binged recently?
I binged the second season of Heartbreak High not too long ago, but I’d be lying if I wasn’t impatiently waiting for Bridgerton season 3!
If you could play an instrument, what would it be?
I can already play a few instruments, the saxophone, the flute, I dabble with a guitar and the piano, but I could play one well it would be the piano!
