Meet our People: Arlette Bomahou

Tell me about the work you do. 

I work with Digital Marketing agencies in China to help them to improve their online advertising strategies on our client's platform.  I advise them on the product and features that the the client has to offer, providing them with guidance to help achieve their marketing goals.
I also keep them informed about industry trends and insights relevant to their marketing strategies. As the training lead within my market, I look at how we might expand to other markets.
Finally, I support my sales manager in reporting to the client and any other tasks related to team management.

What’s the most exciting project you’ve worked on and what made it so exciting?

I am a user of the client platform myself, using it to promote my passion for fitness and nutrition. It is very interesting to be on the other side and be able to support my customers with the best practices on the platform. 

I work in an multinational team. I started in the France market and due to my performance I developed into the Asian / Pacific market. I also get to work with different nationalities which is interesting. 

The project has helped me to develop my sales and digital marketing skills, and helped me realize how I would like my career to progress; I would like to get more experience on the training and leadership side.

This role has allowed me to combine my passion for fitness and digital marketing.

What’s a day-in-the-life like at Accenture? 

It is a fast paced environment. I have a lot of interaction with my colleagues and you never get bored. No two days are ever the same! There is always something new to learn every day, whether it is from the customers or directly from my colleagues. 

I am also involved in different communities where I can network throughout Accenture. A few examples are:

• • Accenture African Caribbean Network (AACN) community
  • People Advocate Group (PAG) Team
  • Fitness classes.

What do you like the most about working at Accenture?

I like that I have opportunities to learn new skills and develop my career, with a wide choice of international clients to work with. We work in a very multicultural environment, and Accenture promotes an environment of complete inclusion of everyone, no matter their race or religion. Women are empowered at Accenture too, with equal opportunities to lead.

What do you do in your spare time?

I enjoy training for weightlifting & entering bodybuilding competitions, as well as online fitness coaching. When I'm not training, I like going to the movie theatre, travelling and meeting friends & family.

What advice would you give to someone interested in the work you do?

I'd advise them to put the customer first, and focus on adding value to the team, to the client and the advertisers. Be curious and eager to learn. Be a game changer. Focus on solutions rather than problems.
