What’s the phrase? New starters are like buses? You wait 18 months and then 4 come along all at once…or something like that.
We’re over the moon to welcome four wonderful new members to the Fusion team within our SEO and Content departments.
Catriona joins us as Content Strategist having spent 3 years at Connective3. Joining her team are Lucy and Lisa, both as Content Executives. Finally, Ellie is joining the SEO team as Senior SEO Analyst after most recently being Senior Account Executive at IMA HOME.
Why don’t we dive in and learn a little more about them?
Firstly, what excites you most about joining Fusion?
LISA: The company culture
CATRIONA: To be joining a long-standing digital agency with a great reputation and strong moral drive.
ELLIE: I’ve worked at some quite big agencies over the years and was keen to work for a smaller, specialist agency so that I could hone my technical SEO skills. Fusion has given me just that with the bonus of an incredible office culture!
LUCY: Working with a range of clients, with some well-known names in the mix. As well as focusing on specific parts of digital marketing.
And what was it that inspired you to begin a career in digital?
LISA: Started off as a creative but fell in love with performance
CATRIONA: It’s an exciting industry that’s always evolving and growing, meaning there’s always something new to learn.
ELLIE: I have a degree in Psychology so have always been quite analytical and interested in the way people think and act. Combining this with my love for social media, content creation and tech I’ve found myself here!
LUCY: I am both analytical and creative, which I feel describes digital marketing well.
What’s the most unusual job you’ve ever had before joining Fusion?
LISA: Was an ABR therapist for a child with Cerebral Palsy even though I have no medical degree
CATRIONA: I was a lifeguard for four years during university – never had to save anyone from drowning thankfully!
ELLIE: I was a young person’s support worker at a therapeutic school during my year in industry. The role was nothing like I’d ever done before but I loved it!
LUCY: Working as an intern photographer at a rock-climbing depot.
Now that you’re a fully-fledged member of the Fusion gang, is there one productivity hack you’d recommend to the team?
LISA: Time tracking – ClickUp or Asana
CATRIONA: Learning that the first 10 minutes of every task suck but once you’re past it, you’re in it (coined “The Fischbach Method” by one of my friends).
ELLIE: I love a colour coded to-do list!
LUCY: Making lists. Whether that be physical post-it notes or an excel document.
We obviously know you live and breathe digital, but what was your dream job when you were a kid?
LISA: Wanted to work in a horse riding stables as a stable hand
CATRIONA: To be a writer like Jacqueline Wilson
ELLIE: I wanted to be a Sheepdog until I was 5 years old – take from that what you want!
LUCY: Anything animal care-related, a fashion designer or a psychologist (a very varied mix)
Let’s get a little more out there, if you were an animal, what would you be and why?
LISA: A llama with a hamster’s face because that’s apparently what I look like
CATRIONA: Lioness – I love being around my people, lounging in the sun, and chasing new goals
ELLIE: I reckon that I would be an Otter. Cute, cuddly, and love swimming!
LUCY: A cat – unbothered and can sleep anywhere.
And finally, describe yourself in 3 emojis
LISA: 🖤🤘🥰
CATRIONA: 🤠💯🍒
ELLIE: 🤠😊😇
LUCY: 🎨🐾💁♀️
It’s great to have such an energised bunch joining the team at Fusion and we’re all excited to see how they turbo charge our growth over the coming months.
