With continuous innovation and ambitious growth targets, the NewDay were looking for an experienced Partnerships Marketing Manager to drive new customer growth and media spend efficiency through their outsourced marketing partner.

Malisha Patel of tml Partners worked closely with NewDay’s HR, marketing and commercial leadership team to understand the role and business objectives. Leveraging her network of contacts across the financial services market, Malisha was able to introduce a shortlist of profiles, resulting in the successful appointment of William Pointing to the role.

With a strong background in performance marketing and affiliate management, and having worked in businesses such as MoneySuperMarket and WPP, William was able to bring a strong knowledge and understanding of the Affiliate networks and strategy to hit the ground running. With a good blend of digital marketing experience as well as strong analytics and optimisation skills, William had all the right skills the business was looking for.

William was on-boarded into the business just as the UK went into lock-down, but the business ensured he had everything he needed from day one. A few months on and William has settled into the team well, and has been able to drive efficiencies across the function.

Commenting on his experiences working with tml Partners:

“I dealt with Malisha at tml Partners, unlike a lot of recruiters, she gave me a fantastic introduction and advice for the company interview. She was able to explain about the characters I was meeting and in-depth details about the interview process (which was very useful). Post interview, she was able to chase up the company and negotiate the best offer for me. With her support, I was able to get an offer for a new role, just before lockdown! Thanks Malisha and tml”

He goes on to say:

“I was worried about my start date moving after being offered this amazing opportunity just before the UK went into lockdown. NewDay have been very agile. The HR team and hiring manager clearly communicated the onboarding plans for day 1, ensuring they confirmed this with me every other day until my start date. I picked up my laptop from the office, where an IT expert set me up. They had arranged a number of VC’s with my direct team, hiring manager and external partners. It has been weird and different 1st week, however, I am settling in well cannot fault the effort the team has gone through so far.”
