I’m a Virtual Assistant and Digital project manager based in Littlehampton, West Sussex.

Starting off my early 20’s at university and travelling the world (I could bore you to tears with my travelling stories – you have been warned) I decided to get my foot in the world of advertising and digital.

Kicking off my career as a project manager in a large healthcare agency in London, I was guided through the meticulous processes and attention to detail that I still hold onto, to this day.

I then moved onto a consumer agency where I worked with the likes of Tesco and Nike, which provided a more rounded view and allowed me to produce my own way of working.

As I was getting old(er) I decided on a slower pace of life (how Covid of me) I moved to West Sussex and joined an agency where I had the best of both worlds in terms of pharma and consumer.

One day I was snowed under with my workload, after all, project managers wear multiple hats. We populate content, create wireframes, deal with financial reconciliations, QA website, mediator between the digital and accounts department, the list goes on. I thought to myself “If only there was a person that could at least take on some of these tasks, even if it means checking work has been updated from a client review before I send it” then it dawned on me “why not me?” and that is how Gemma Mason VA LTD was born.

With this move to working for myself, remotely, it has allowed me more time doing the things I love, such as going to the beach or pub with the people I love most and my two rescue dogs Bella and Bailey. Or folding every item of clothing.

Life is too short not to have a great work-life balance and this is something I can assist people in doing. After all, nobody wants to be working into the late hours, reference linking on Veeva PromoMats or double checking documents that the design team have updated, let me take on these tasks and let you get home at a decent hour.

The people that keep me going....my clients

"I've had the pleasure of working with Gemma for over a year. She works with us as an excellent project manager keeping a variety of projects under control at any one time. And she does this with a permanent smile and cheerful manner. A pleasure to work with!"

"Gemma has been invaluable to us on several occasions when our internal team has been at capacity. She's worked quickly and flexibly, and set up really useful online communication documents so all queries and notes are kept in one place. I'd definitely recommend Gemma if you need someone who can quickly get their head around the task, work independently, and produce high quality results."

Radical Departures, Kew - London

"Gemma has been pivotal in my online presence during this pandemic, from re designing my logo, giving me tips to improve my Instagram marketing to designing and building my e-commerce website. If you need to get online quickly and for a very reasonable budget Gemma is the go to person. 100% recommend."

Anneka Rubin, Digital Marketing

"I approached Gemma as I had just received an SEO audit and wanted to know how I could improve on it. She suggested a ‘power hour’ chat as I had a few website issues I wanted to review. Hands down best money I’ve spent on my site and after our chat, my site audit came back with a much better score. Brilliant."

Little Miss PR

"The list of agency project managers that I have worked with that are as efficient as Gemma is very slim! She is diligent, enthusiastic and challenges appropriately when needed to get the best possible project outcome. When the opportunity arises I will certainly hire her again."

Open Banking, London

“Bringing with her a wealth of project management experience and a wonderfully kind and helpful nature she has been instrumental in driving our agency forward. She has been responsible for streamlining processes, introducing new tools and ways of working and ensuring the various departments of the agency work together seamlessly.”

Chantal Watt, PPC consultant

"I have worked with Gemma over many years - her digital expertise, hard work, support and guidance and attention to detail are second to none. I would recommend Gemma in a heartbeat"
