My comments: Having previously worked for Exeter Cathedral School, my familiarity with Exeter Cathedral's daily operations and rapport with its staff allowed me to smoothly take on the marketing work required to support the Marketing Manager during a busy period. My work included coordinating and writing content for weekly internal and external newsletters (MailChimp), creating video content for social media (IG, FB, TikTok, X, BlueSky), securing social media collaborations with influencers, updating the Cathedral website (Elementor, WordPress) and writing content for social media to engage different audiences. My approach to this Content Creator role was relational, responsive and engaging – I wanted to make sure everyone in the Cathedral's large staff and volunteer community felt heard and represented.
