Contributed to brand streamlining and content creation in the fast-paced environment. Collaborated with external contractors to archive top SEO results. Ultimately, the role evolved in a direction that differed from my long-term career objectives, leading to a mutual decision to part ways.

• Streamlined internal processes to enhance efficiency in the marketing department.
• Directed content creation, boosting organic traffic on digital platforms.
• Aligned marketing objectives with business goals, ensuring coherent strategy implementation.
• Negotiated contracts with external agencies, securing optimal terms for the company.
• Implemented SEO practices for improved website visibility.

At this internship I was responsible for digital communications and short term marketing for Scotland’s Arts and Early Years organisation - working with mothers, babies & children. This involved organising and archiving previously gathered footage, shooting both video and stills during their productions and engaging with their community outreach programme. Alongside this I participated in weekly brainstorming meetings, contributing innovative ideas for upcoming marketing initiatives and branding efforts. I was given the opportunity to explore video editing and created various extra videos for the mothers and social media and transcribing outcomes of their AGM.
