Available to hire
Hi, I’m Ollie Standen, a media and communications student with international study experience through an Erasmus placement in Munich. I’m passionate about storytelling and creating engaging narratives across digital and traditional platforms, and I love developing creative ideas for social media and marketing.
Through university projects, campaign work for Leicester and London-based brands, and hands-on production experience, I’ve built skills in planning shoots, editing video, and growing online communities. I’m excited to bring energy, adaptability and a user-first approach to future roles in social media and marketing.
