HEAD OF MARKETING & PR Consultancy

ABOUT

The Studio in Bath is Bath Spa University’s first innovation centre. It provides a space for local micro-businesses, Bath Spa University students, academics, and graduates to work on projects and ideas which focus on creativity and technology. It is also a space to collaborate, share ideas, host events – for residents, and the wider community. It launched the Studio Innovation Fund in 2021 to help creative tech startups recover after the Covid-19 pandemic, and has continued to fund BANES-based freelancers, micro-businesses, social enterprises and third sector organisations with creative tech business ideas, ever since.

Bath Spa University teaches and undertakes research in art, sciences, education, social science, and business. The University employs outstanding creative professionals who support its aim to be a leading educational institution in creativity, culture and enterprise.

CONTRACTS

I helped Bath Spa University launch The Studio in Bath, starting with the development of its websites and then creating all of the content, setting up social channels and a newsletter, and then managing all marketing and PR activity for over two years. I helped the team launch the Studio Innovation Fund, working with residents on pitches, generating interest in the fund externally and then capturing all progress with videographers and photographers. I mentored interns, provided consultancy to residents and generally helped across the board.

In addition, I provided PR services to Bath Spa University’s communications team, working on news stories, press launches and social media content. A highlight was writing an article about university alum, Axel Scheffler.
