Stroud Book Festival

• Stroud, England, United Kingdom

• Project Intern

  • Aug 2021 - Nov 2021

  Whilst studying for my undergraduate degree at Bath Spa University I took part in a small project with Stroud Book Festival. This required me to research potential pricing and delivery strategies for the festival in light of the COVID-19 restrictions. Additionally, I investigated how a literature festival could better appeal to a younger target market. Following this partnership, I was invited to work with them over the summer into the lead-up of the festival to put some of my ideas and research into practice. This included writing blog posts, creating content for social media platforms, attending the launch event, and networking. Show less
