Dawn Osolinski
Founder of Bake Creative
I’m fascinated by the life cycle of Digital Marketing, from concept and strategy through to evaluation and contingency. I launched my career in Marketing in 2005, back then Digital Marketing was only just beginning to evolve with the rise of social media, usability, email marketing and SEO. My role meant I had a high involvement in print marketing, so when I saw that the industry was maturing I followed trends and developed my skillsets. In 2011 I founded Bake Creative, initially as a freelancer and eventually working with a small team of creatives to deliver results in branding, web design and digital marketing. Besides my active role in email marketing and ecommerce, I lead all client projects and manage accounts along with getting out there and making contacts, presenting to clients, attending events and extending contracts. As a result of my experience and expertise in ecommerce marketing, I am consulting clients on ecommerce and email marketing strategy, specialising in Shopify and MailChimp. In addition, I educate and train clients on the importance of UX and user journeys, designing wireframes for improved usability.
