Andy Lochtie – Communication Manager Application

Stronger Together
Most of my working life has been as part of a team, starting my own business over the pandemic has been great but those principles of connectivity, trust and true partnership are things I value dearly and miss in my day to day work.

Always Listening
Listening is a superpower and a drastically underused one. An organisation where continuous learning, development and hard graft is encouraged is exactly the kind of place I want to work.

People People
- People people are my kind of people. The principles of caring, open mindedness and being respectful are principles I live my life by and strive to carry those principles into the work I do daily.

Energetic Pioneers
Impact, impact is one of the main reasons I find myself applying for this position. I want to join an organisation where I can energetically pursue making a difference.
A little about me…
You are probably here because you are interested in finding out a little more about me, so let’s get started. I’m Andy, passionate marketer and communicator. I believe in marketing as a means of connecting people and bridging communication gaps both digitally and traditionally.
Currently I run my own little agency ‘Lumos Digital Marketing’, as a small business owner this means I wear many hats and have become a bit of an all rounder when it comes to marketing. Prior to this I worked full time as a digital marketing manager whilst freelancing on the side.
Many years ago, before I started my career as a marketer, I was a film and media studies graduate working in the retail industry. I worked for various organisations in a variety of different management roles. This helped shape me into a highly capable manager and team and developed my ability to work under pressure and pull teams together to work towards common goals.
Portfolio & Experience
Endorsements & Testimonials
I have known Andy professionally for a few years now, and in that time I have experienced his passion for marketing and communications first-hand. His desire to succeed is infectious, inspiring greatness in those around him through subtle coaching and support. Over the years Andy has become more than a professional contact to me. He has been a coach, a teacher, and most importantly he’s been my biggest advocate. I truly believe that whatever Andy puts his mind to, he will make it happen.

We recently engaged with Andy to help sort out an attack to our site and update the ISP database which were jobs very well done.
Subsequently we asked Andy to upload our new site and again we were very pleased with the result.
I have no hesitate in recommending Andy to you and Andy is very easy to work with.

As Andy’s Digital Marketing Lecturer, I witnessed his extraordinary abilities to understand digital marketing concepts and then adeptly apply them to real world situations. His Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), Web development and Web designing skills are particularly impressive. He has also delivered a few interesting and informative guest lecturers for my digital marketing sessions. I highly recommend Andy for any Digital Marketing roles.
