Vikki Turner is Kubota (UK)’s digital marketing executive within the agricultural and ground care marketing team, with responsibility for all digital platforms and content creation.
Coming from a non-farming background, Vikki brings her own blend of creativity and innovation to the team, inspired by her Dad’s interest in cars, motor sport and machinery. Having studied an apprenticeship in business and administration at Chiltern Training in Reading, Vikki found herself gaining experience with a local business, before joining an agricultural machinery dealership, spending two years as a marketing assistant with tractors and ground care machinery.
“Working in a dealership has provided me with tremendous experience,” says Vikki. “From learning about the machinery and the varied roles for different equipment, through to providing solutions for customers – my former marketing role has a great foundation on which to build my career.”
With a desire to broaden her outlook, Vikki grasped the opportunity to join Kubota, with a view to widen her marketing experience and bring her own style of creativity to a global manufacturer.
“Joining Kubota has been a big leap forward compared to working at dealer-level,” adds Vikki. “As a digital marketing executive with a manufacturer, my role is now much more in-depth and provides an impact on a national level, rather than just local.”
“I do work with an extremely friendly team and while the job is varied, it’s everything I enjoy doing, on a daily basis,” says Vikki. “And I can apply my own creativity and thinking, to marketing services.”
Away from work, Vikki enjoys dog walking with her husband and family, and has also started to learn origami – the Japanese art of paper folding.
“Origami is a calming hobby, which helps with hand-eye co-ordination and concentration, and it gets me away from staring at a screen,” says Vikki.
