just come back from maternity leave in the last 2 years.
●She’s been in this same company for 10 years and used to be the
Administrator.

much about the digital stuff. She manages an external design agency which
does her printed literature too. She also liaises with an SEO and PR company.

●Mary lives just outside of Bristol in a nice, family friendly neighbourhood with
her husband, children and cat.
●Mary is a little bit more extrovert than her administrator but only because she’s been with
the company for so long.
●She likes email because she can keep track of all the conversations which have been
happening about various different projects. However, she’ll always pick up the phone when
it’s an urgent matter.
●She uses social in the same way as her assistant. She’s ultimately responsible for company
growth on social media but has delegated the output to her assistant. She’s looking on
social at competitors and what they’re doing strategically, especially on Twitter.
●She’ll hear of NLM through events and searching online but will often only seriously
consider us when referred to us by another agency she is working with.

Agency Alex
●Alex is 32, has had a job in sales his whole life and has just climbed up into
the Biz Dev role within an agency in the last couple of years.
●He started out in telesales - Alex didn’t go to university. Over the years he’s
climbed up the ladder - enjoying all the commission which comes with it!
●He’s a bit egotistical because he started from the ground up and kind of
comes across like he knows everything (he knows a lot, just not everything).
●Alex is single. To be honest, he’s hard to live with; either divorced or was
kicked out by his partner.
●He lives just outside of the city in a house which needs some work done to it.
He does that ‘cause it’s cheaper than living in the city.
●Alex is outgoing and a little bit overbearing.
●He’s in Biz Dev so obviously LOVES the telephone. He also enjoys a
meeting but will settle for an email if he can’t get hold of you.
●He’s so busy and has so many leads to chase up that everything is a bit
last minute.
