About

Who Am I?

My name is Shaun James De'Ath and I have recently completed my BA (Hons) Marketing Management degree at the University of Chester. I await my final results, however I am on track to achieve at least a 2:1 grade.

​

Where Am I From?

I was born and raised in Gibraltar, a British overseas territory in the south of Spain. Growing up here, I managed to enjoy my fair share of sunny beach days and up the Rock of Gibraltar explorations.

​

I remained in Gibraltar until 2018, when I moved to the United Kingdom to complete my marketing studies. However, I do regularly return back to Gibraltar to see my friends and family. 

​

Why Did I Start My Marketing Journey?

Gibraltar has always been well-known for its success within the tourism and betting industry; this meant I was surrounded by the marketing communications of companies within these industries on a daily basis.

​

This caught my attention, making me want to learn more about how marketing works in the world we live in.

​

When Did I Start My Marketing Journey?

I started my journey in 2016, when I signed up for a summer internship at Saconne & Speed (Gibraltar), a local company that works closely with The Coca-Cola franchise. The internship involved working within the sales and commercial team, requiring me to execute various promotional activities. This experience was thoroughly enjoyed, and encouraged me to study marketing at the University of Chester.

​

At university, I've continued to gain work experience by supporting the Chester Business School (CBS) with their social media and completing a marketing strategy internship with Barcanet, a software company based in Chester. 

The internship at Barcanet was focused on developing 'Impact Score', a company-owned app that pushes for social and sustainable change.

​

What Are My Skills?

Since coming to university I have developed many skills, such as website design, content creating and many more skills.

 

I have further managed to learn about the use of Canva, Wix, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, however there is still loads of room for improvement when learning about how to use these tools.
