In my role as the Digital Media Marketing Coordinator I was tasked with the production of high-end video and audio content for use on a number of digital platforms. This content was used to improve the reach of the universities reputation and drive recruitment. In 2010 I set up the universities official YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/UniversityofSurrey). This became the foundation of video distribution within the university. I worked with other key stakeholders to transfer existing content. As the channel grew I developed skills in SEO, and content management. I also learnt to measure analytics and make recommendations on improving future productions. Due to the successful implementation of Digital Media at the university, two placement students were hired as Faculty Digital Media Coordinators. I took on a supervisory role where I provided in depth video and audio production training. I also managed a number of projects utilising these additional resources. All projects were delivered to brief, on time and to budget.In 2012 I left the marketing department to take on a role as a Faculty Digital Media Coordinator at the University.
