MARKETING MIX: Brand manager of the week - Carolyn Anderson, Chelsea Village Group

Name: Carolyn Anderson Age: 28 Job title: Marketing manager, Chelsea Village Group

What is your greatest work achievement?

Working on the Nectar points deal for Macdonald Hotels that helped generate more than £1m of business for the company and, since I joined Chelsea Village, making an immediate impact on business revenues.

What would be your dream brand to work on and why?

Being in the leisure sector I really admire the marketing of Travel Inn, but my dream job would be to market David Beckham or Jonny Wilkinson. Do I need to explain why?

What would you do if you were not in marketing?

Like a lot of people, I would like to think I had a book in me, so being an author would be nice. Failing that, probably a teacher.

Which is the best agency that you have worked with?

I really enjoy working with River Design, and Alphabet is charming and very good creatively.

What is the best part of your job?

As a football fan it's nice that I get to talk about football all day and get paid for the pleasure.

What is the worst part of your job?

Getting ridiculed for being a Spurs fan from my Chelsea-supporting colleagues in the marketing department.

What has been your most embarrassing mistake?

Spelling Windsor incorrectly in a brochure for a hotel.

What has been your best work-related trip?

I never get to go anywhere exciting - just Stamford Bridge. But I did sit next to Sven-Goran Eriksson recently.

Who is the business person you most admire and why?

Richard Branson for his fantastic brand-building powers.
