Client account wizardry
Becca spent the first part of her career as a marine biologist. She studied marine biology, ecology and conservation at Anglia Ruskin University – obtaining a BSc (Hons) degree – and then spent five years in a marine taxonomy role. Her day-to-day work involved identifying and analysing macrofauna and algae in the lab, or getting very wet and muddy in the pursuit of marine and estuarine samples! It was only in 2015 that Becca jumped ship to join the exciting world of marketing, and she accepted a role as an Account Executive at kdm communications just over a year later.
Becca’s strong scientific background and knowledge of B2B marketing – gained through a CIM level 6 diploma in professional marketing – have made waves at kdm, leading to two promotions within the company and landing her in her current role as Senior Account Manager. Becca is now line manager to two Account Executives, and together they control several sizable client accounts, including Thermo Fisher Scientific, Roche, Leica, Tecan, ELGA and ROMIL.
Becca’s love of the ocean even shines through in her personal life; she has a rescue dog that she very aptly named Ursula! She has moved house a few times since joining the kdm team, and therefore her spare time is usually spent doing up her home and learning to love gardening. She also enjoys sewing and cooking up a storm in the kitchen.
