I've worn a lot of different hats as a freelancer working with arty creative types, corporate businesses, the beauty industry and more recently education. From e-shots, public relations, marketing to copy writing, you name it, I've done it!

    I've been lucky to work alongside some amazing people, helping them get the recognition they deserve. I have experience of securing sponsorship opportunities, building and developing relationships with the media, managing events, developing databases, social media management, writing and distributing press releases and marketing materials, website content management and being forever watchful for creating feature opportunities.

    I have recently finished a 20 month contract within the University of Glasgow which allowed me to put my copywriting skills to good use. I was solely responsible for creating interesting and engaging copy for the School’s news pages and I was Assistant Editor on seven annual publications. Other responsibilities included website design, social media, the creation and distribution of all Undergraduate, Postgraduate and staff newsletters within the Business School, and designing posters and tickets for events.

    I am also currently working freelance for the artist John Lee Bird, concentrating mainly on the before encore exhibitions. The before encore project archives this new period of time in the art scene where more and more performance artists and musicians are emerging from small internet communities, nightclubs and cabaret bars. These new acts are ever increasing in popularity in their own communities with their influence gradually shaping the mainstream. Artists who have been commissioned have included The Mighty Boosh, Patrick Wolf, Joan As Policewoman, Crazy Girl, Paloma Faith, Madam, Jonny Woo, Jarvis Cocker and Robots In Disguise.

    My role is to create as much media, and audience, interest as possible in the series of before encore exhibitions and to secure subjects for the project. I am also responsible for all social media activity ensuring that prospective buyers and fans of John’s work are kept up to date with merchandise offers, exhibition details, exclusive video footage and any other exciting Bird news.

    Further freelance clients have included Hugh Maynard, Stuart Saint, Sam Amant, Tiff McG, Scottee Inc, FourFifteen, Roy Anthony Brown, The Nobel Creative, Kelburn Country Centre, sLaPpEr, Digital Jones, Jesters Knot (Dussehra Fire Festival), Des Clarke, Nardini’s Café, Marcus Reeves and This Is War.

    I regularly attended the Fringe Festival to work alongside David Burns PR as Account Manager where I worked on a mix of comedy, theatre and dance clients. My main duties included writing and distributing press releases, liasing with journalists, arranging press tickets, interviews and photocalls, updating press cuttings folders, and responding to all media enquiries. My clients have included Jason Manford, Hattie Hayridge, Stephen De Martin, Dan Clark, Andrew Stanley, Damian Clark, Watson & Oliver, Harry Shearer, The Goodies, David O’Doherty and Dutch Elm Conservatoire as well as Slava Polunin’s company Teatr Licedi and Sam Shepard’s company for new writing The Padua Playwrights, to name but a few.

    I have extensive experience of developing, and delivering, engaging content for the media and can proactively identify media opportunities. Over the years I have developed active and effective relationships with relevant reporters across the UK to ensure effectively placed stories for Clients.

    I have experience of managing the development and execution of marketing communications campaigns by utilising print, broadcast and online channels and have exceptional working knowledge on the use of social media to convey public information and messages. I provide accurate, relevant and engaging information for my Clients websites and social media platforms and have a proven track record of promoting, not just their business, but also building ‘brand awareness’ for them. I have excellent writing skills and have the ability to deliver engaging and compelling content across platforms with the ability to alter style and tone appropriately.
