Apr 2022 - Dec 2022
Worked as part of a small team creating social media content for the biggest Rugby League World Cup in history. The role included live match coverage for all three tournaments, planning and scheduling content in the lead-up to the competition and working to extend the reach of all our channels. My role also included specific responsibilities in keeping the website updated through our CMS software, and regularly posting on our official TikTok channel which grew from 7,000 followers in May to over 170,000 followers post-tournament and delivered over 30 million views.
