My work diary is busy but I am available for project work, commissions and proposals on a case-by-case and freelance basis, so, please feel free to reach out.
Indeed, I am committed to using my media experience to help businesses and companies as well as individuals.
These are just some of the areas I specialise in:
Communications Support:
I work with individuals, teams, start-ups and established businesses and companies to support them with all aspects of their communications activities.
I research, plan and manage communications activities by providing specialist support and expertise across a wide-range of areas. These include content creation, public relations delivery, strategy development, business change and branding, stakeholder and audience engagement, marketing campaigns and events and project management.
Press Office and Media Management:
I know how journalists operate and the importance of working closely with media to create great coverage and build long-standing trust.
From issuing press statements to coordinating campaigns and organising interviews, I have lots of experience working on both sides of the fence and managing demands and expectations from both a journalistic and press office perspective.
Digital Journalism:
The media industry has a new look on a daily basis and while it is very important to keep up to date, there is still room for traditional journalism whether that’s online or print storytelling. I remain passionate about finding and showcasing content in the best possible way.
I am an experienced campaigner when it comes to digital journalism, having previously built, run and managed news and sports websites. From SEO to metadata to rich media, my strong editorial judgement and knowledge can be an asset to you or your business.
Journalism and Sports and News Writing:
With a comprehensive and varied background in journalism, I deliver digital articles, features and interviews for various multimedia platforms. I am also a trusted and safe pair of hands when it comes to covering live events or interviewing high-profile people.
Copywriting:
I provide concise, direct and personalised written content for individuals, start-ups and established businesses – and believe in the power of storytelling and crafting content to stand out and make people sit up and take notice.
Video Production:
As an experienced video journalist, I can be at your service to script, film and edit short and long-form packages for websites and social channels. I have a passion for video and believe in its value to inspire and motivate.
Visuals can also open dialogue with advertising and commercial teams, and in the process, open doors when it comes to monetising content.
Media Lecturing:
I provide media lectures and seminars to students at Sixth-Form and University level, specialising in journalism, communications and public relations – helping newly-trained media professionals transition into competitive job industries.
Bespoke Social Media Management:
Through my extensive social media experience and knowledge, I can help you grow followings, engagement and your overall profile by creating great content across all channels such as Instagram, YouTube and Facebook.
I also focus on short and long-term social strategy development and planning, day-to-day management of platforms, live content and the monitoring of analytics, metrics and trends across the ever-changing social landscape.
Building on the core ethos of what my client is looking for, I aim to ensure their social media is in tune with and crucially championing their identity.
