Bath City Football Club

I started volunteering at Bath City in September 2021, where I initially started as a matchday assistant, helping with updates on Twitter and creating matchday graphics.

In May 2022, I took charge of all social media channels, overseeing everything from player announcements to general club communications.

I'm now in my third season with the club, consistently striving to enhance our online presence.

Skills Obtained

Communications

An important part of my role is to communicate and coordinate vital club information, from writing copy to scheduling promotion in the lead up to matchdays.

My role has seen me manage crisis comms, the publication of important information and also uphold the club's standards and online brand.

Design

As part of my role with the club, I have been able to develop and adapt my design skills.

In the summer of 2023, I redesigned the club's digital branding and implemented a consistent style across all media channels. The club has developed an effective digital brand and is one of the most followed clubs in the division.

Marketing

One of the most important parts of my role is leading on social media marketing campaigns, from kit launches to regular matchday promotion.

I now know how to effectively market and promote events, reveals and launches in a concise manner, leading to impressive results.

Strategy

Consistently developing throughout my career, Bath City FC has taught me the value of qualitative content above all else.

I'm passionate about rewarding my audience and I firmly understand the benefit of being efficient with content production and distribution.
