WORK HISTORY
Head of Communications and Marketing @England Touch
One of a group of volunteers on the England Touch Association executive committee, I\'m taking a strategic approach to communications, PR and marketing for one of the country\'s fastest growing sports. This includes- supporting the ETA\'s various initiatives across a range of sectors, from schools and universities to the newly-launched England Touch Leagues, including actively promoting areas such as medical and injury research where the association is breaking new ground- providing coverage for the England national teams- covering the ETA\'s regular national tournaments, including executive producing live streaming on YouTube of elite club and regional tournaments- furthering connections and contacts with the national media- increasing and enhancing communications to ETA members and clubsIn 2018 I managed the media coverage of the biggest ever European Touch Championships, overseeing a team of seven, and executive producing the live streaming coverage. I was part of the negotiating team which secured a broadcast rights agreement with BBC Sport Online which saw all four days be streamed on the BBC Sport website and app.I followed this by proposing and securing a further broadcast rights agreement with BBC Sport Online for the finals day of the 2018 Touch Nationals, the first time a domestic Touch tournament has been covered by the national broadcaster.If there are any companies who would like to help us out, either by providing us with support or by becoming a sponsor, then get in contact with us at also a Level 1 qualified referee and have passed the Federation of International Touch\'s Level 1 (Intermediate) coaching qualification.
