Providing fan made content, commentary and conversation around Coventry City. Pods are live-streamed across YouTube, Twitter and Facebook with TikTok and Twitch coming soonIn the first two months of taking over the production I have increased the views, following and engagement of the channels on Youtube, TikTok, X and Facebook. I have done this by repurposing existing content into multiple formats, reacting quickly to breaking news with engaging, creative and unique thought leading or provoking content relevant to our target audience. I have also optimised existing content on YouTube to increase the discoverability of the content. I have utilised social media trends and pushed for quick turnarounds of relevant content to breaking sports news and used current trends or content gaps to influence future content. I have begun the process of further professionalising the output and oversaw our first live event with a live audience. Show less

From initial consultation to final delivery of products I ensured the projects were correctly allocated to the most suitable team and oversaw the projects run on time, on budget and to the clients expectations. I also represented the company at networking events, exhibitions and online where I grew the online presence vastly through social media and development of a new website. Despite the media lab being student led and ran we managed to attract such business as the NHS, Police and Crime Commissioner's Office and Royal Life Saving Society. I was proud that at networking events - other more established companies in the industry were envious of our client list. Show less
