UK Parliament
As a Constituency Assistant for two Members of Parliament, I have been responsible for press and media monitoring and briefing, public communications, social media management, and casework.
As Communications Officer for the Amy Callaghan MP General Election campaign, I designed and executed a coherent media plan resulting in notable success. Both through print, broadcast and digital media - as a collective - we achieved an incredible election result, overturning a 5000+ vote majority and increasing the voter share by 6.8%. This experience gave me direct control over media, marketing, press and communication strategies - creating engaging, resonating and successful content; gaining coverage within national and international media in addition to increasing digital output across a range of online platforms.
These roles provided me with first-hand knowledge of UK Parliament processes; engaging with proactive media strategies and developing constituency engagement work. An experienced community liaison worker, I lead on several constituency wide, multi-agency events resulting in positive press and media coverage for my employer.
Co-ordinated op-ed for newly elected Member of Parliament, communicating work to constituents and the public.
