About me
I am a 23 year old from Lancashire with a 2:1 BA (Hons) degree in Media and Communication from Bournemouth Univeristy. I am looking to further my passion for communication and fashion and your advertised position 'Copywriter' has really caught my eye.
The nature of my degree has prepared me for this position by developing my communication, interpersonal and writing skills throughout the duration. Units such as PR, Writing for the media and Communication Skills have armed me with knowledge and experience in writing for different mediums and provided insight into how PR environments function. As a result I am now an avid writer, blogger and social media enthusiast and I am confident in my ability to produce quality content. I am dedicated and hardworking, giving 100% to any task I face.
I found it important for my personal development during University years to spent time outside of the academic term experiencing different working environments. This would allow me to explore different fields and allow me to understand the field I really want to work in. I spent time at 'Urban Junkies'- a London based online publication that features fashion, food and events, where my role as an intern allowed me to develop my office and communication skills further. My main responsibilities included liaising with PR's along with marketing departments of different events and attending PR events to potentially feature on the website, these included Hugo Boss and Very. I also have produced fashion, social media and lifestyle content for Manchester based magazine 'La Vida' and Melbourne based publication 'Outlet Mag'. Alongside this I spent a short time working for regional newspaper 'The Advertiser' where my roles included assisting the editors in their day to day runnings, conducting interviews and researching my own story ideas. I was featured in print twice during this time and I received good feedback from the editors.
