• London Borough of Culture Communications & Content Manager

  • Aug 2018 - Sep 2019

  I led the communications and marketing strategy for the first ever Mayor's London Borough of Culture in Waltham Forest. Over a busy and exciting year, we programmed, produced and developed multiple arts and cultural projects and events from an opening event attracting 70,000 people to Walthamstow to working with Damon Albarn to bring a sold out Africa Express to a Big Top tent in Wanstead Flats, and collaborating with dozens of young people to develop a play as part of a special episode of BBC's Imagine... Key responsibilities included developing robust, exciting and accessible public facing campaigns to promote the year's activity; both a busy programme of events working with world renowned artists and a year-long engagement and legacy programme across strands including education, volunteering, cultural leadership and arts funding. I led on press engagement, digital marketing, website development, content creation and art direction of multiple films documenting the year. Show less

  Following a long role in West End theatre, I moved to Cardboard Citizens to fulfil my ambition to work in-house for a producing theatre company, and to work for an organisation that shared my values in the power of the arts and its ability to platform often unheard voices. Working in a small but ambitious development and marketing team, my key responsibilities included leading on PR, digital strategy - including website, newsletter and social media, building partnerships and leading communication with all external and internal stakeholders. Alongside profile building work, I led hugely successful communications and marketing strategies for major theatrical runs in London venues including Soho Theatre, on UK tours and at the Edinburgh Festival.
