Creative Lives in Progress

As part of the Kickstart scheme, I was Editorial Assistant for the HudsonBec Group‘s creative careers platform, Creative Lives in Progress, from May to November 2021. As well as interviewing many of the UK and beyond’s brightest things within the creative industry, I ran their weekly newsletter on MailChimp and created social media posts for them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.

I still occasionally work for them on a freelance basis, most recently helping to curate a selection of potential candidates for Google USA‘s Creative Labs programme.
