Background

About Ella Johnston

I am a driven and enthusiastic student at the University of Auckland, currently pursuing a degree in Marketing and Management. With a passion for connecting with people and creating impactful experiences, I am committed to leveraging my academic background to excel in the dynamic field of marketing.Driven by a strong sense of self-assurance and exceptional customer service skills, I pride myself on being approachable and proactive in problem-solving. Organised, driven, and dedicated, I approach every task with determination and enthusiasm, striving to deliver excellence in all endeavors. My cheerful demeanor and positive attitude make me a valuable asset to any team, fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment.Having volunteered at Dear Community, initially as an intern and later as a Volunteer Leader, I gained invaluable experience in sponsor outreach, event coordination, and leadership. Transitioning from intern to leader allowed me to take on more responsibilities, including planning events independently and fostering community engagement. I specialise in organising events tailored to young women aged 18-35, collaborating closely with sponsors and venues to create immersive experiences that promote connection and empowerment within this demographic.Furthermore, my experiences as a Brand Ambassador for companies such as Brand Spanking and Radar have equipped me with diverse skills in marketing and sales. In these roles, I successfully met key performance indicators while establishing strong connections between customers and brands. These experiences have solidified my passion for marketing and provided me with practical insights into building successful brand relationships.
