Bio

Gemma has over 11 years of experience in the higher ed and non-profit sectors, delivering multi-channel marketing campaigns with a spring in her step and a smile on her face.

In her four years at the University of Glasgow she has worked across directorates to transform and enhance marketing activity. This includes overhauling the UofG alumni social media channels (tripling follower numbers within a year); launching UofG’s flagship digital magazine Avenue e-News; and building an engaged UofG marketing community of 350+ staff through her Marketing Forum training and networking events.

She currently manages the award-winning Team UofG and Future World Changers campaigns, as well as leading a team of student vloggers, producing compelling student-focused content. One of the highlights of her career was having her face turned into a #TeamUofG GIF, which has now been viewed nearly 10 million times worldwide!
