Sarah Barthorpe

Brand Marketing Manager - Specialist

As Brand Marketing Manager for the Specialist Division, it’s my job to support the Brand Directors in achieving their targets through effective, measurable marketing activity and market-leading merchandising, and enhancing the JCT600 brand by supporting the Group Marketing Plan and producing high quality work.

My key responsibilities include; working with my management team colleagues to ensure we have a joined up plan across all JCT600 marketing activity, manage all agreed campaigns for my brands, oversee the design, tracking and purpose of all tactical and CRM e-mails and ensure all offers are accurate and in-line with requirements.

Sarah's Experience

I’ve been in the marketing industry for 10 years. I started my career as an apprentice at a local marketing agency where I was a Social Media Apprentice. I then moved to another marketing agency in Leeds, still working within social media, however, then moved into an Account Manager role. This is also where I completed my Level 4 Certificate with the Chartered Institute of Marketing. In 2022, I started here at JCT600 as a Brand Marketing Executive, working my way up to the Brand Marketing Manager role I’m in now.
