Asked why she wanted to work for Green Hippo Mercedes explained: "When I first saw the advert for this job I realised it combined a number of different interests that I love. Going through the interview process the atmosphere of the office was brilliant. Everyone genuinely loved the product, what they did and their team and you could see it from the way they spoke. It's something I felt I had to be a part of and being able to do what I love in such a nice environment, with the best in the industry just sealed the deal for me."
Mercedes has a BA (Hons) in Arts and Event Management and previous experience in the event industry. With a love of festivals and live events, she has been involved in projects such as Artistic workshops for Bournemouth 200 and 'FACE', Arts, Fashion & Cultural events and various promotions of London West End clubs.
Kitty (Marketing Manager at Green Hippo) comments: "Having Mercedes on the team is fantastic; she is full of youthful enthusiasm and ideas and will benefit the marketing team greatly. Her knowledge of all social networking channels means that she can help us broadcast our message to a wider audience. I am very excited and have high hopes for her."
Green Hippo has also appointed Estelle Chung, currently studying Industrial Design and Technology at Brunel University in West London, as its new Product Design Intern and will be working closely with the Product team to further develop Hippotizer as well as look at new ideas for expanding the Green Hippo range of products.
Technical director Sean Westgate explains: "We are really excited to be able to collaborate with such a renowned institution as Brunel University and get some young talent to work here at Green Hippo. It broadens our skillset and at the same time gives young designers such as Estelle a unique chance to get stuck in the deep end. This is the ideal time to be at Green Hippo as we are constantly researching and developing new ideas in an industry that is extremely innovative and rapidly changing."
