GTB SUPPORTING FORD OF EUROPE 2017-2020

I enjoyed working for GTB, supporting Ford of Europe. We find imaginative ways to highlight new products and advanced technology, using print and digital communications, videos, animations and infographics.

ONCUE COMMUNICATIONS PR ACCOUNT MANAGER FOR RENAULT UK 2017

JAGUAR LAND ROVER UK INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER 2016

As editor of the weekly TeamTalk e-news for 40,000 staff worldwide, I enriched the content with more international news and introduced behind-the-headlines colleague interviews. To tackle the ‘white noise’ of bulk emails to staff, I worked with various departments to create a weekly UK-only email newsletter designed in Dotmailer. Each short headline and summary was linked to the intranet or microsites for more information if required.

PARADIGM HOUSING MEDIA & MARKETING OFFICER 2008-2011
My objectives were to develop ways to engage stakeholders including local councillors and council employees, MPs, developers, our residents and their new neighbours. I developed a relationship with the Social Publishing Project, to give practical advice to residents.

One project brought students from local schools into sheltered accommodation to teach 'silver surfers' to use email and computing. One resident began to write children's stories, which she illustrated with clip-art and emailed to her grandchildren. We twinned the school with another in Ghana, and held an inspiring iChat session for the older people and students in both countries. As a spin-off project, I volunteered to run a young journalists' club at Chesham High School in my lunch hours, and helped the students to produce a school magazine two years' running.

My main duties were:
  • Managing external press
  • Informing and engaging staff
  • Organising events allowing residents to have their say
  • Organising opening events for new-builds, plus visits to our properties by councillors and MPs
  • Managing website, social media and residents' magazine Paradigm People
