Marketing Background

About Me

I have a multimedia background with 10 years experience in broadcasting and technology with a customer service focus. I have worked in both commercial and public service settings, Free Radio, BBC radio WM, Birmingham City Council, and property lettings and have created publicity material including SEO across a range of genres to promote services and products within these organisations.

I’ve had material published across a variety of platforms on a number of different subjects and I’m able to create well researched and engaging content for any customer or client and look forward to exploring many more.

Professional Copywriter and Media Expert

With more than a decade of broadcasting experience ranging from local radio to national broadcasts, and 3 years writing experience consisting of small information pieces to regional BBC news bulletins, I’ve been lucky enough to establish a strong skill set within the written and spoken media.

A keen interest in motorsports and motoring along with music, sports and conservation has allowed me to write about some fascinating subjects. Not only has this been beneficial in broadening my own mind, it showcases my adaptability across different disciplines and subjects to ensure an honest and entertaining final product.

Copywriting

Writing news bulletins and press releases for the BBC ignited a real interest in the written word for me.

I have recently written several articles on motoring, a keen interest of mine, which have been published on various websites. I enjoy researching any topic, exploring different perspectives on a subject, have a good grasp of the English language, a wide vocabulary which I tailor to suit the brief and audience.

I have a keen eye for detail and pride myself on producing a quality result. I recently researched and wrote an article on the fascinating story of the Chacoan Peccary’s remarkable return from extinction. I was delighted to have this published on the WAWA (Weird And Wonderful Animal) Conservation Foundation, a charitable organisation who work to save the most unique and endangered species and be selected as their featured blog across their social media portfolio.

I have written and published articles for websites on anything from cars, technology, gaming and conservation. Written in the right way, every subject is interesting and accessible.

Editing

A decade of radio and broadcasting work with some fantastic companies such as Orion Media, Free radio and the industry standard format of the BBC has given me an extensive background in editing experience.

Having produced many radio programmes across several stations for a variety of different presenters, along with editing shows for many more I am able and confident in producing high standard audio edits of any kind.

My work has been included on major national broadcasts such as Match of the Day.

I’ve edited written material in the marketing positions I’ve held with local estate agents and London based office rentals.

I prepared written material for properties I was due to market and regularly edited and proofread all company marketing and email campaigns.

SEO & Marketing

I have had a marketing and SEO role in some capacity for much of my career to date. I use WordPress for most of the work I produce and am proficient with Yoast and a number of other SEO plugins used across this and other similar platforms.

I’ve worked extensively with award winning marketing departments, such as Free Radio. I’ve written and recorded adverts used for the self-promotion of the radio station and was a key member of the marketing team that produced their largest campaign to date. With a reach of over 10 million people and achieving ‘runner up’ status at the ARQIVA awards, it was a fantastic project to be a part of.

I’ve been commissioned to write a number of articles, for different publications, across a variety of subjects. My experience from broadcasting has taught me the best ways to engage with an audience and how to reach them.

Having also been responsible for creating marketing campaigns for the housing market and ensuring the correct information is delivered, according to both a business and client brief, but also engaging with an audience in an incredibly saturated market.

About My Work

Throughout my career I’ve been able to showcase my work across platforms such as Match Of The Day, BBC WM and Free Radio as well as a range of independent media outlets.

I’ve been fortunate enough to research fascinating subjects and write articles for some wonderful charities.

I’ve been able to write about subjects I’m passionate about and work in industries I’ve dreamed about being a part of.

I’ve been effective in every area I’ve tried my hand and looking forward to exploring more.

Working with Chris I was able to set him a complicated brief for content and simply leave him to it. The articles submitted back were delivered on time, beautifully written and some of the most interesting car features we have published. Chris is an excellent wordsmith.

Chris started with our sports team in 2012 and was eager to explore as many opportunities as possible. He was always quick to adapt to any challenge and performed well in any task he was given.

He offered good insights and collaborated well with each different department he joined and was able to work closely with the marketing and production teams on both small and large scale projects.
