Hello! I am a passionate, hard working and have a nickname of "Hawkeye" for a reason - I have an eye for detail. I have led the content and strategy for F1 Esports (now named F1 Sim Racing) since 2018, I led all content creation, I created the videos used on social and web for engagement and impressions. Making the F1 Esports brand a powerhouse inside the Formula 1 (F1) family. I would attend events and lead the gameplay TV director role. Ensuring I captured iconic moments (I also used this to set "markers" on moments which happened in the races, to go back and edit later to use on Social Media). I turned 63,000 entries in 2018 into 1.4 million entries in 2023. The F1 Esports brand got so big, it needed it's own social channels. Which it has done for the past 2-3 years. We engage with the younger audience of Formula 1. The following day (after a race day) I would then edit the race footage up into 5 mins (approx) "highlights packages" which featured key moments for use on YouTube, Insta, Tik Tok, Facebook and X. Video production, along with live broadcasts are my bread and butter. I then had to make social media posts to promote the races / advertise them and raise awareness. Example of web-work: F1esports.com (I fully built this website and the whole architecture behind it, its a symfony 3 base, customised heavily) and integrated into WordPress for the news article system. Backend is a admin panel again custom built. F1.com - I built the driver and team standings areas. Ea.com - I built the entire website using a magenta (for game orders) backend. Volocommerce.com - backend, complete custom WordPress theme. Various integrations and loaded with Google tags. I have over 15 years of IT support and experience of key account management and project management to ensure the customer of the product is supported and queries answered in a timely manner. I progressed from 1st Line Support to 2nd Line Support, to Digital Technologist driving the multichannel listing programs marketing program. I would love to come and work alongside you and your team.
