About

Charles Andrew RevkinI am an experienced multi-skilled Digital Strategy Manager, passionate about technology and everything digital, who enjoys working at the cross-roads of technology and communications & marketing.

I have developed and implemented successful Digital Strategies that have led to long-term growth in websites’ visitors and engagement. I have a proven track record in web project management, developing award-winning websites with diverse focuses (institutional, awareness campaign, event, and resource hub), as well as successfully implementing digital platforms, such as CRM, DAM, project management tools, and event apps (5 international events) with high adoption rates. Additionally, I have built an extensive toolset of digital marketing skills (email marketing, SEO, SEA/Google Ads) to drive traffic to the websites, while building comprehensive web metric/data visualisations dashboards (Google Analytics / Google Data Studio) for data-driven decision-making and reporting.

My aim is to use my creative, digitally-driven and solution oriented approach, towards achieving meaningful results within an international organisation or company; to reach out and make a difference in the lives of others...
