Work history

TikTok creator

Ebay
Birmingham, West Midlands
02.2025 - 02.2025

In January 2025 I posted a video on my TikTok page of myself and my friends doing an impression of an eBay advert that was sponsoring the Winter Love Island Series.

The video gained 1.6 million views and lead to eBay contacting me via instagram to do a paid partnership video for them following this.

They sent over a script and creative powerpoint for the video which I then followed and posted on to my page.

The paid Ad reached a total of 2.9 million views.

This experience allowed me to gain confidence in my marketing skills and acknowledge an understanding of social media influencing.
