From April 2011, I have worked in partnership with a small e-tail company, griffshomemade.co.uk. I run all online activities and manage content across the website, social media and newsletter.
I devised a content strategy and management for the website, including use of channels and ways to monitor performance. For content production, I write copy and shoot images for all products on sale.
From January 2009, I have managed the content on lewes.gov.uk. Working as Communications Officer, I devised and implemented a new overarching content strategy and management structure. This has introducing a new in-house editorial standard and production standards.
Work continues to improve self-service delivery and content quality through staff training and guidance. I also produce content and maintain the council’s social media accounts. I act as web editor, approving all content before publication and monitor its performance with analytics.
Between Feb 2004 and Dec 2008, I was a Content Producer for The Weekender, a local BBC radio show and website. I published weekly show notes, tracklistings and a podcast. I produced written, audio and video features for the web. Plus, I hosted an live chat room and developed a community using MySpace and Facebook. The show won a BBC Gillard award for ‘Best Interactive Radio Show’ in 2005.
I freelanced for production company, Somethin’ Else to write music album reviews for bbc.co.uk/music‘s pop and rock section. Here is my profile.
Between Feb 2002 & May 2007, I worked on the initial staff to launch the local BBC website for Northamptonshire, bbc.co.uk/northamptonshire. Daily I produced text, audio and video features covering news, sport and entertainment in the local area. As well as regular maintenance and upkeep of the website, I hosted the message board, experimented with panoramic cameras and hosted live web streams for events.
For the inaugural BBC Electric Proms event in 2006 I worked closely alongside The All New Adventures Of Us to produce a series of text, photo, audio and video features. I captured their journey from rehearsal with the BBC Concert Orchestra, to live performance in Camden, London, to a regional show as part of a UK tour. My work featured on bbc.co.uk/electricproms and bbc.co.uk/weekender.
I followed this up with a second year in 2007, this time working alongside with New Cassettes. Here’s an example of an audio feature I produced.
