I’ve spent two years at Blank Street — not just making coffee, but learning who our customers are, what brings them back, and what makes them talk about us. I know the demographic inside out because I interact with them every single day.
I’m resourceful, eager, and proactive. Whether it was earning Most Valuable Barista in my first month, representing the brand at London Fashion Week, or helping execute the Spring Activation launch, I’ve always found ways to contribute beyond my role. I’ve worked closely alongside the marketing team during events and understand what their expectations look like in practice.
I’m not just applying for this secondment — I’ve been preparing for it for two years. I bring frontline customer insight, creative energy, and a genuine love for this brand.
Everything you need to know ★
I have worked closely with Mekky for the past two years at Blank Street and from the very beginning, I have admired her work ethic and natural ability to connect with the people around her. Within her first month, she was recognised as Most Valued Barista by both managers and shift leads which was only the start of the positive impact she would make. Since then, she has continued to grow and became a true Blank Street ambassador. She is someone who is proactive, always eager to contribute and help those around her. She has represented Blank Street not only as an all rounder barista, but also at Fashion Week and as a bar manager at the latest Spring Activation. Her bright energy is contagious and she brings it to every team she works in. You can rely on her without having to ask, whether you need a hand during a busy rush, or to get strawberry jam from another store, she is always one step ahead. I am confident that her initiative, strong understanding of the brand and creativity would make her an exceptional addition to the marketing team.
Honestly, having Mekky in the team has been such a positive experience. She brings really good energy into the workplace, connects naturally with people, and genuinely cares about doing a good job. She’s someone you can rely on, and she always brings warmth and positivity into the shift. You can tell she puts her heart into what she does, and I truly think she’ll do amazing wherever she goes next. She would be a great asset to a marketing team.
