  I manage and create all digital content, including creating graphics for social media and competitions with Photoshop, filming and editing videos using Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, and building new webpages on our radio CMS, Aiir. I work closely with both sales to produce products for our clients, and the programming team to create promotional material for on air content. I’ve worked to optimise content and meta data for SEO, and incorporated Google Adsense to generate revenue from our main website. I keep track of our Google Analytics and social media stats to monitor our online performance and interaction. I also work with local events and PR companies to find prizes for competitions such as tickets giveaways for Clean Bandit and The Jacksons, to working with local festivals like Strawberries and Creem. I also design and build websites for our clients using Wordpress. I mainly use HTML and CSS, with some knowledge of JavaScript. They are fully responsive with SEO, and I have set up Google Adwords scripts to run alongside digital marketing campaigns for certain websites, too. With the programming team I have learnt to integrate the station using G Selector and how to use Zetta to time the hours and segue songs. Show less
