- Studio Sixty Billion: Maggie's MatezThis social media VT created for the satirical news and politics show 'Sam Delaney's News Thing,' spoofed a 1980's Tory youth group. Created off the back of the controversy surrounding 'Activate,' this video was widely shared, gaining press coverage from London to Australia, eventually being viewed over a million times.
- Creative Lead - Shortlist Media: Social Content CreationIn late 2017 I project managed a video content creation project for Shortlist Media. This meant directing a team of editors to create 48 unique pieces of content for the Shortlist and Stylist social media pages. I single-handedly wrote the scripts for these videos, as well as over-seeing the creative production of the entire project.
