My name is Toby Williams, I'm a writer and graphic designer, with experience in videography and social media development.
As a writer, I have a talent for creating exciting and engaging stories and posts using simple prompts and ideas, and building up an interesting narrative around those ideas. I have experience in writing fiction, creating scripts for videos and presentations, and writing blog posts and news articles. I have been writing for many years now, and have an impeccable grasp of English and grammar.
As a social media specialist, I know how important it is to keep one's finger on the pulse of an online audience. A cohesive social media campaign can put a business or a product on the map. In today's online landscape of quick-changing platforms, dialogue and interactivity become the benchmarks against which companies are measured. My experience spans across several years and many platforms and has culminated in my knowledge of how to create a social media campaign that's interesting, innovative and eye-catching.
As a graphic designer, I am experienced in creating cohesive packages, either of promotional material or of more in-depth literature. I have designed advertising campaigns, as well as branding for businesses and for marketing campaigns. I have tied my graphic design work closely together with my writing and videography, and can deliver a complete advertisement package based on all 3.
As a freelance video maker, I've created videos for Google, Mojang, Sony, and have worked with Curse, INC for 3 years creating all their Minecraft content. In that time, I grew their YouTube channel from 5000 to 125000 subscribers, becoming their largest channel and personalities until the completion of our contract in 2015.
I'm extremely passionate about my chosen fields, I think the future lies in technology and quick media. I love watching something I create unfold as I work, and I love being given a challenge and working to create or overcome that challenge.

My job entails making videos, pure and simple. 90% of the videos I make are using Minecraft ingame footage, I make some Minecraft Wikia Tutorial Videos on a regular, bi-weekly basis and also make the Minecraft Weekly News every Thursday.
