Under my direction, we produced broadcast quality short form factual, entertainment and extended fiction scripted drama/comedy formats for BBC iPlayer and Red Button, social media and core ‘trusted source’ website support such as news, show information, preview clips, galleries, games and quizzes.The role involved me controlling a large budget whilst leading teams of skilled and agile in-house creatives, indie developers and freelancers. I also facilitated creative support for related projects elsewhere within the BBC. I have built EastEnders’ social media channels up from scratch to over 3.4 million Facebook users and 2.4 million Twitter followers, as well as being the digital producer of the Webby award-winning EastEnders spin-off, E20.

Responsible for developing the BBC’s key international drama brand’s online presence into its No.1 programme website, with over 1.2 million unique users. This included the project management of over 20 games and creative apps, a radical redesign of the website, developing numerous ‘extended narrative’ websites, behind-the-scenes videos, design portfolios and episode commentary podcasts.I managed an editorial team and worked extensively with internal and external designers, coders and game developers to deliver innovative content such as the Doctor Who Trailer Maker.I also created and commissioned online material for the show’s spin-off, Torchwood.

My wide-ranging duties for this innovative online team included creating written, graphical, audio, video and animation content for the BBC Cult website, supporting shows such as Doctor Who, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, The Simpsons and Jonathan Creek.

I co-produced a featurette for the Doctor Who DVD The Invasion, which included animated episodes produced by our team.I also commissioned an entirely original Cult format - the animated series Ghosts of Albion.
