Promotional layouts I authored appeared in The Sun, The Irish Daily Mail and various consumer magazines. Campaigns delivered media values in excess of £100,000 and multiple days coverage in national media. Most notably, I worked on the small editorial team for two issues of Amazing Destinations — a specialist travel magazine published quarterly. Across both issues, I authored three long-form features, sub-edited 13 regular features and compiled four others. I was set assignments by the editor and wrote unique content for each brief, and I liaised with the photo desk to choose suitable imagery for each piece. I also proofread both issues in full before going to press.I also helped to overhaul the online and social branding for all the company’s sub-divisions, including launching their new sub-division ClickGo. Working in a team of two, I devised and wrote all copy for the promotional materials and product webpages. I also created and produced content for ClickGo’s social channels, averaging an engagement rate of 26% on Instagram. Show less

I helped to plan and solicit content every month, whilst contributing my own short-form features. From July 2018-August 2019, I edited a total of 13 issues.From August-October, to cover staff shortages, I managed my time between two key roles within the Collections team: Interlibrary Loans (ILL) and Print Subscriptions. For ILL, I monitored the team’s inbox for loan requests from external institutions, and I used Sierra (library management system) to respond to ILL requests from Essex students and staff. For Subscriptions, I updated the library database daily with newly received journals and magazines before shelving them correctly.Furthermore, I became the go-to person to deliver digitised print materials ahead of deadlines, digitising upwards of 50 pages per day. I trained 5 colleagues to follow efficient processes so that they could spend an hour per day on digitisations, which saved the team ~25 hours of time per week.I also continued my work in reviewing online reading lists, demonstrating meticulous attention to detail by correcting metadata errors, informing the Acquisitions team of stock to order, and linking e-resources to improve user experience.
