Cara Sherratt

Senior Marketing Executive at Inspiring Learning

I’ve known Cara for a long time. Too long in fact.

How Cara answered question 3 should tell you everything you need to know about what kind of person she is.

Q. Cara, who are you and why are you important?

“Wow, we could truly be here all day.

Career-wise, I am a senior marketer with nearly a decade of experience working across multiple sectors at an array of brands, from SME to enterprise businesses. I manage (fantastic and engaging) multi-channel campaigns and I’m also a data analyst nerd.”

Q. What was the funniest moment you experienced at work?

“Oof, how to narrow that down. It’s such a tough one. Mainly that’s thanks to a decrepit and further withering memory but it is also because throughout my career I’ve been blessed with an array of hilarious, individual, genuine and ridiculous co-workers and environments. This has led to me being repeatedly winded by fits of laughter on a regular basis.

I’m also very funny. That tends to catch on.”

Q. You’re locked in a cell with one guard outside. You’re armed with a bag of Skittles, a lighter and a spoon. How do you escape?

“Escape? I’ve got Skittles AND fire, I’m good. If I’m nice to them, hopefully the guard will bring me more food and I can make use of my spoon.”

Q. I’d like to bring the cape back into modern fashion. Give me 3 straplines to sell capes.

Thunderhead really was *not* the brightest bulb (if you don’t get this reference, we can’t be friends).
Not all heroes wear capes. But then again not all heroes are remembered. I’m just saying.

Q. You have a new client called Klompogmania International, what do they do?

“Alien-themed rollercoasters and arcades, obviously. There are faces in the pavement and only David Tennant works there. (Again, if you don’t get reference, I’m not sure how to help you).”

Q. You’ve been given £10 million to advertise yourself, but you have to spend it all at once. How do you spend it?

“What’s my KPI? Because if it’s simply to spend the money, I’ll use “word of mouth” on a trip around the world. Canada, South America, New Zealand, Switzerland, South-East Asia, I’ll see you all very soon. In a massive luxury tour bus.

With my face on it.”

Q. Write a haiku about a goose who knew too much.

“Goose you know too much

Much too much for just a goose

You should forget some. “
