... am a highly experienced media professional with a strong track record across all media platforms. In a career spanning more than 20 years I have written for national newspapers, magazines, television, business and social media. I have ghost-written for a leading Channel 4 actress and recently secured a publishing deal for an educational book. An all-round creative thinker, I am versatile, professional and reliable, always delivering above and beyond expectations to deadline and budget. I also have a vast network of valuable contacts across the media. I have worked at the highest level as a documentary producer director and series producer for all the terrestrial broadcasters, wth a long and impressive list off credits to my name. Due to my background in journalism and documentary-making, I am a highly skilled and effective interviewer and communicator. I have recently transferred my skills to the business arena, bringing creative solutions and content to marketing and sales teams - most recently of a major restaurant group, consisting of 33 sites UK-wide. I handled all press and PR, securing national media exposure - including national newspaper spreads and a recent mention on the Chris Evans breakfast show. I managed social media content (more than doubling the number of followers) and also wrote a cookery book proposal, securing a publishing deal. I handled all internal and external communications, PR, writing press releases and designed the concept for a new in-house magazine.Skills: Creative Development
