About me
An award-winning content creator, social media producer and digital storyteller with a specialisation in entertainment and drama. For the National Theatre, launched their first at home streaming service, National Theatre at Home, heralding huge social following growth, including an 800% increase in YouTube subscribers. Run weekly campaigns, many of which were UK trending on YouTube and Twitter, to gather hundreds of thousands of people together to watch theatre during the coronavirus lockdown. At BBC One, I managed industry-renowned campaigns for Line of Duty S5, Gentleman Jack, Dynasties, the BAFTAs, The Cry and Les Misérables, among many others. I started and community managed the largest BBC Facebook Group for Line of Duty, which remains heralded by Facebook as their exemplar brand fan group.
