Meet the team – Samantha Moulson
- What is your role at Platinum and what does your day-to-day look like?
I’m the Sales & Marketing Director at Platinum, and my role is incredibly dynamic. My day-to-day typically involves a variety of tasks, including managing customer projects, reviewing quotes, working on tenders, and overseeing marketing campaigns. I also spend time checking copy, analysing figures and more. In addition to these responsibilities, I participate in regular meetings and strategic discuss - How long have you been working in this industry, and what drew you to it?
This year marks my 10-year anniversary with Platinum, which also happens to be my first experience in the printing industry. Although I’ve always worked in sales and marketing, I made the transition into print in 2014. The industry has always been close to my heart, as my parents founded Platinum the year I was born, so it’s a company and a field I’ve grown up around. - What do you enjoy most about your job?
What I enjoy most about my job is the variety. No two days are the same, and I enjoy the mix of tasks. I love working closely with customers, particularly on complex projects, and I also take great satisfaction in supporting the sales team and collaborating on marketing campaigns. It’s especially rewarding to see those campaigns succeed and contribute to our growth. - What skills or qualities do you think are essential for success in your role?
Success in my role requires a blend of strong communication skills, strategic thinking, and the ability to analyse data effectively. It’s essential to have a deep understanding of both the market and our products. Additionally, managing teams, having a creative marketing vision, and aligning sales and marketing efforts to drive revenue growth are all crucial elements in ensuring our continued success. - What’s your favourite way to spend your free time?
I enjoy spending time with my family, usually at Fountains Abbey, where my son likes to ride his bike around. I try to get out for a run when I can, and I enjoy a good skiing holiday when the opportunity arises. - What’s a fun fact about you that most people don’t know?
A very long time ago I appeared on C4 on a reality TV show…. - Do you have a favourite travel destination or a dream place you’d like to visit?
I’ve got a few places on my list—Italy is somewhere I’d like to explore more, and Japan is definitely on the radar. I also wouldn’t mind a ski trip to Canada at some point. We also like to spend time in the Alps or head to the mountains for a summer break. - If you weren’t in this profession, what would you be doing?
With a degree in Anatomy I had considered going down the route of a role in the medical profession. I did consider being a paramedic or medical sales before joining a graduate placement with Brake Bros. - If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you bring?
I’d probably go with the essentials: some kind of shelter, a water purifier, and a medical kit—practical choices to keep me going!
