Lindsay said, “When I got my certificate to say I’d attained my Chartered Marketer status for another year – now my 10th year in a row – I was over the moon. This status is not an easy thing to achieve in the first place, and then it takes a lot of time and dedication to ensure you keep up with the requirements.

“But when you see that certificate and you know what it means, it makes all the hard work worthwhile.”

To achieve this status, each year Lindsay completes a mixture of activities, including training courses, attending seminars and webinars, reading, mentoring and visiting expos.

She said, “I try to learn what is going to be relevant to my clients. Having the right knowledge specific to their needs is vital if I’m going to offer the best service. I am very proud of what I’ve achieved to date. We are now arranging a party to celebrate with the team. I think this milestone deserves a party!”

Alongside her Chartered Marketer status, in 2020 Lindsay was elected as a Fellow of the CIM (FCIM), which is only awarded to marketers with significant senior strategic experience. The CIM states that FCIMs are considered leaders in their field.
