[email protected] Emily De Groot linkedin.com/in/emilydegroot @missdeg I’m a freelance marketer and doer with expertise in integrated, digital and social media, having worked in some of London’s top agencies such as We Are Social and M&C Saatchi. I’d like to meet people who need this skill set. I enjoy building teams, am passionate about communities and love working on projects where I can build partnerships. I believe corporates and brands have a role to play in doing business a different way and would love to meet CSR, sustainability or innovation folk.
