With over five years of experience in marketing, PR and content creation, I have developed a versatile and adaptable skill set that enables me to deliver engaging and effective campaigns and projects for various audiences and platforms. I have a passion for storytelling and online marketing, and I enjoy using my journalistic background to craft compelling and informative copy that showcases the value and impact of my work.Most recently, I worked as a PR & Marketing Coordinator at Outpost VFX, where I was responsible for developing and executing global PR campaigns to publicise key project launches, business developments, and new hires. I also prepared video and written submissions for multiple annual industry awards, shared studio news on social media, and liaised with production companies and distributors to secure relevant permissions for sharing showreels and behind the scenes content. Previously, I worked as a Corporate Communications Assistant at Bournemouth University, where I supported urgent Covid-19 messaging and other crisis communication, composed, edited and delivered a weekly all-staff email, wrote press releases and content for the university website and intranet, and utilised multimedia content and social media to enhance written communication. In both roles, I applied my SEO skills and web analytics knowledge to optimize and measure the performance of my online content. In my spare time, I've worked as a Freelance Journalist, contributing videogame reviews for Nintendo Insider.
