Social Media Strategist and Trainer

Having had huge successes managing social media for Nexus Studios in Shoreditch and Hotblack Desiato estate agents in North London, I decided to specialise in this area. I quit the day job to study Social Media Management with Digital Mums.  I graduated in October 2017 with 100% in all modules.

Nexus Studios

Ensuring the amazing and extremely varied work at Nexus Studios was made public I wrote press releases and ensured all new content was positioned in it's most advantageous publications, on the website and all the Nexus social media at the correct times. I established and maintained trade contacts, headed up the Social Media strategy and wrote new content for the Nexus Studios website.

Head Of Public Relations

Hotblack Desiato - Estate Agents

In order to maintain their position as long standing, local estate agents I created and implemented marketing and advertising campaigns for the three offices.  I created ideas and I worked with designers, printers, magazines etc to implement those ideas and ensure the company's presence in North London was strong and consistent. I also looked after Hotblack Desiato's social media: twitter, facebook and pinterest.

Marketing Executive

Petts and Clay Casting

Working with the wonderful Tree Petts, we cast actors for commercials, music videos, broadcast, short films etc.
Our speciality was street casting - not an easy way to find talent - but we did it!

Casting Director

Freelance

Setting up film shoots from hiring crew to booking studios, locations, caterers, props, camera equipment etc.  Ensuring everything stayed within an strict budget so constantly negotiating on prices, juggling money (usually thousands of pounds) to enable the shoot to happen on the given day.  Overseeing the post production process so working with post production houses, editors etc working on the project.  A great deal of tenacity, organisation and patience required throughout!

He’s taller than he looks on screen!

In fact he’s a bit of a man mountain and look how tiny he makes me look! 

I had the absolute delight to meet one of my online heroes yesterday at the fabulous* SocialDay ® B2B conference. 

One thing which was no surprise at all was his personality 💜

I have known Joe Glover online for years and watched The Marketing Meet Up grow and grow. 

Without making him too big headed and saying how lovely, kind and generous he is online - he did not disappoint in person. 

True authenticity at it’s best!  

Although, Joe, you may want to lower your camera in future😂

* I will be talking about the amazing learnings from B2B Social Day in another post, because it is the BEST conference I attend. Thank you to Andy Lambert and Luan Wise 💜
