About me
I'm all about creative direction. Art drives me no matter the medium, being a musician myself lets me delve into most. My experience started with an old PC my pastor bought for me when I was in year 7. I downloaded Photoshop Elements 5 and Cubase, from then I did not stop.
My role at 12:34 involves producing musical and graphic content, content management and social media management. I've raised my own handle, the handle of the founders and also the profiles of our clients to more than 60% of initial interaction on twitter. I use social media to market well I delve into analytics and with my knowledge of current trends I am always one step ahead of the wave.
I design and control the content that will be published across artist and company profiles; Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr and YouTube. That includes image, video and text.
At Claremont I am responsible for the content published on the school website. Images, videos etc. I have edited videos for Teachers First & Schools Direct. When we have musicals I also design the promotional tools used for the school website. I also made certificates, managerial tutorials and first aid demonstrations.
With The Unknwn I explored graphic design. I made artwork for every release and managed the groups' social media. (Soundcloud/dontcall999 soundcloud/charlesebose)
I am a graphic designer, a producer and music engineer. Meticulous does describe me when it comes to editing. I run a music studio and I am the engineer. I use Logic Pro 9 to mix and master for clients. Audio editing for 12:34 and The Unknwn clients
I am trained in and I also teach Adobe Creative Cloud at Claremont I also use the software to design my work.
I produce for musicians as a hobby. This takes editing to a whole new level. Not knowing what you're working with on the day, whether that is guitar, a choir or a audio novel you have to be prepared.
I edit the HTML with Dreamweaver and create Tumblr blogs. Charlesebose
SEO is to make your brand visible. Making sure phrases are relevant and you are the top of the list when searching for your brand or service. It's essential and I've made sure every artist is rooted enough in social media and the net in general to be the first thing to pop up when you search for them. (Google - Hvq or the Unknwn)
At 12:34 I am paired with the marketing team and my job is to keep the team up to date with what's relevant on social media (gifs, vines, new vocabulary, and sensationalised videos - anything that we can engage with to sell a product)
At 12:34 the editor Gus approves all creative choices made by me. If the campaign does not fit or the artwork does not correlate he will let me know and amendments will be made with a meeting about the initial brief.
Many thanks, Charles Ebose
