7 Reasons To Hire Me

1. I Am Experienced

I have experience in digital content creation, videography, photography, blogging, content writing, social media, customer service & administrative duties. I have also studied media production at college & university gaining a first in my BA Hons degree.

I first started creating content in 2016 and have developed my skills & knowledge in this area through experience, education & experimentation. I often create videos, photos & blogs for collaborations with local restaurants, brands & businesses. I use videography to tell a story visually and entertain the target audience. Photos work well in complimenting blogs, where I write about my experience and inform the reader about the establishment. To promote these pieces of content I use my social media presence to engage audiences and encourage interaction on these platforms.

My preferred social media platform has to be Instagram due to its variety of formats such as posts, stories, IGTV & reels. I feel this platform captures all of the consumer’s favourite aspects of social media in one place. It allows for many different types of content to be posted such as short-form videos, long-form videos, Lives, posts, photos & stories. Facebook offers a great platform for long-form posts, videos & lives. Facebook is particularly great for sharing blog posts, videos and engaging with audiences about current news. Twitter offers a good way to interact with demographics on a more casual level through short-form tweets to increase brand awareness and by sharing up-to-date news/trends. Tiktok has shown to be one of the fasted growing interactive platforms through short-form videos. Both as a consumer and creator, making videos suitable to TikTok is a great way to engage with younger demographics in a fun, entertaining way. Cross-platform sharing is vital for increasing brand awareness, engagement and audience retention I’ve found It’s important to make content transferable to other platforms by tailoring it to the suitable format.

Overall, this has allowed me to experiment within different fields of the creative industry, which I feel expands my knowledge of the different aspects of job roles, skills and crafts which can be applied to a variety of job roles.
