I got involved in communications for the Bristol BRC when I created our shared communications team to work across both Bristol BRC and ARC West. As with ARC West, I lead the communications for the BRC across all channels, with the support of the BRC funded Communications Executive. This includes contributing to the BRC's reapplication, relaunching the website, social media and email newsletters. I am working hard to create a communications culture in the BRC.

I led communications for the NIHR Bristol BRC, including developing news stories and press releases, managing Twitter and helping researchers communicate their complex research to a wider audience.

Working at the intersection of so many organisations, as well as the health and academic sectors was one of the best things about this role, demanding creativity, tenacity and flexibility. This role helped me develop my comms experience beyond the digital realm, and pushed me out of my comfort zone to do things like media appearances and rabble rousing speeches. Show less

I led the team that covered the intranet, website, extranets, social media and email marketing. In 2006 the eCommunications function moved from London to Bristol. I was the first person recruited to the new team, and I developed the team structure to be more strategic and specialism-led. I shaped the corporate web development programme, which transformed the Commission's digital communications.

This was a completely new role, and I developed both the team and our processes from scratch. Previously the Trust’s web presence was fragmented, managed remotely by various departments and properties, and a variety of different agencies. I gave the Trust a more stable, professional and fit for purpose web presence.

This was a new role where I had the opportunity to develop the PPA’s online strategy. I managed all aspects of www.ppa.co.uk, including responsibility for editorial, marketing, advertising, design, information architecture and technical activities.
