I have contributed text content to a wide range of projects for the international communication agency Key Content. This includes writing the entire text content and corporate video scripts for the company’s website www.key-content.com, as well as a number of articles and advertisements for magazines, and scripts for viral marketing and corporate social media campaigns.

Responsibility for the company´s editorial content within the UK and US markets. Tasks included copywriting, scriptwriting, devising and implementing social media campaigns, executing digital PR strategies, and handling project management duties to help businesses grow online.

Worked as copywriter for the English speaking market and international press officer. These roles required me to create marketing content for the company, including all text content that featured on the company’s website and within all marketing literature, as well as the development and distribution of press communications to help improve the company’s international profile.

Contributed ideas, jokes and captions for a series of greetings cards produced by the multi-national Hallmark Cards.

Whilst working as a journalist for a city distributed newspaper, I worked in a variety of different departments concerned with covering local news stories. My main function during my time with the newspaper was that of a court reporter, though I also reported on local governmental, financial and news in brief features.

I was commissioned to write the story and scripts for two short BBC Radio dramas. The scripts were set to music and formed the basis of a mini-series played between regular programming. The titles are “Double or Nix”, a short feature (7 minutes) concerning one man’s rapid descent into the world of gambling addiction; and “Spencer, Cole & Fortune”, a mini series of eleven episodes (2-3 minutes each) following the fortunes of a New York stock player in the 1920s.

I volunteered at a local charity dedicated to providing support, information and relief to local homeless people. During my time working with the charity, I created a number of press communications and marketing campaigns to help raise awareness of both the charity of the issue of homelessness in the local area.
