Bio
Alex James
I've now worked with Emily for a few years. I hired her for her past editing services and her current digital marketing services. I chose Emily to work with because I felt she had an intuitive understanding of relationships, an openness in how she presented herself, and an ability to write her insights with clarity. I was inspired to successfully rewrite a story thanks to her input. Since then, it became clear to me Emily has a passion for what she does. She has skills in logic, organisation, language, and managing, combined with an awareness of the target audience, which filled my knowledge gaps. Her approach and her communication, in the long-term, has been flexible, open, professional, reliable, and respectful. I appreciated the personal touch, not an easy thing with long-distance clients, as she was at hand to help troubleshoot queries, to discuss how things were going, which reassured me that she was receptive to my feedback and that she had an awareness of my business needs.

Social Media Marketing Manager & Proofreader
-
Mar 2019 - Apr 2022
Working as a freelance social media manager & proofreader, I learned the importance of organisation, time management, and communication. My top achievements included: ● Successfully managing Keystone Property’s LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts for 2+ years, during which time I consistently designed, produced, and published relevant social media content, acquired 6,000 new followers across the accounts, and generated new leads for the company. ● Growing the Facebook and Instagram pages for two e-commerce brands over the course of 6 months, producing and sharing relevant social media content, utilising Facebook’s shopping tools, creating successful story and reel updates on Instagram, and doubling the companies’ follower metrics. ● Establishing a new Twitter account for editing company Alex James Edits and generating 1,000+ followers over the course of 3 months while maintaining a consistent engagement rate of between 5 and 10%. ● Providing proofreading and editing services to businesses and self-published authors including Barry Litherland. ● Designing a successful website for my own business via Wordpress and successfully marketing my services over the course of 3 years through social media marketing, blogging, and paid social media ads. During my time as a freelancer, I gained a huge amount of practical experience, working with businesses and individuals from sectors including technology, property, publishing, bereavement, and e-commerce. I practised content planning, copywriting, and graphic design while managing several social media accounts at any one time. Running my own business and making it a success was an enormous personal achievement for me. During COVID-19, however, I decided to close my business in favour of working in a team of friendly, like-minded people. Show less
