As a journalist and producer, I am proficient in generating content that is engaging and shareable, while retaining the highest standards of reporting and accuracy.I am used to working in a fast-paced environment and keep a level head during high-pressure events in the newsroom and in the field. Consequently, I am routinely called upon to report on breaking social news stories (http://bit.ly/2j9ZX3F and http://thetim.es/1RBZSSO), direct shoots, lead pitch meetings and act as the production manager on international shoots.
Due to my experience in multimedia storytelling, I am extremely versatile and can not only adhere to a house style but also adapt and alter my content to suit different platforms (http://bit.ly/2a5Uo5M).I have extensive experience producing marketing, advertising and news content for well-known brands and high-profile clients, am able to manage multiple projects in coordination with cross-departmental teams and have an established black book of industry contacts.In previous roles, I’ve used social media as a tool for newsgathering, to curate UGC and influence decisions made by the news desk. Additionally, I’ve provided guidance to both editors and reporters based on live and current events and trending topics. This has proven beneficial in developing and implementing social strategies for The Sun Online, Metro.co.uk, The Times and Daily Express while providing insight into the interests of their readers.I’m currently acting as the executive producer on The Times’ young audiences project. During this project, I have spearheaded the title’s marketing content strategy and directed a campaign called The Times Investigates, a documentary series looking behind some of The Times and The Sunday Times' biggest headlines (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7Y4zyIgkAg).While producing this project, I have worked with The Times’ chief reporters, secured interviews with MPs and high-profile talent and fulfilled the role of DOP on-set.I have experience in using several real-time analytics programmes and know how to use these tools to improve audience engagement, inform editorial decisions and increase readership.During my six years experience, I’ve become a confident self-shooter, using mobile and Sony/ Canon cameras to create VT packages.
