Fancy a career in media?
We were delighted to catch up with Bethany, a July 23 graduate, who is now working in the media sector for Roxhill Media. This powerful intelligence software business connects Public Relations experts with journalists, allowing them to deliver a news story with maximum exposure and impact to a targeted audience.
Using LinkedIn Skills For Business
Keeping the journalist’s database up-to-date and ensuring the accuracy of the information held on each of them was one of Beth’s first tasks. Scouring LinkedIn and other social media platforms to ensure that the individual details were accurate and up to date has given her a great insight into the journalistic giant that is Roxhill Media.
Having spent time learning how to use LinkedIn professionally at OMBS in the Digital Marketing module helped Beth to do this task easily and with confidence.
Daily alerts within the world of journalism allow PRs to keep close tabs on their contact list of journalists. Beth is now responsible for these alerts and the highlights that are released daily. She also compiles the list of ‘Rox Stars’ using Canva, one of the design tools she was taught here in the Digital Marketing module at Oxford Media & Business School.
Practical Use Of Event Management Skills
As part of the events team, Beth also regularly uses platforms such as Eventbrite to focus on ticket sales for a wide variety of events, as well as being responsible for updating the website, promoting tickets, organising and setting up rooms and dealing with visitors face-to-face.
Beth has already met with some exciting clients such as Alex Kessler, the Junior Fashion Editor at British Vogue, Edwin Smith, Editor-In-Chief, at Spear’s, Stacey Smith of Crummbs UK, and Hugh Radojev, the News Editor at Retail Week!
Roxhill Media is located at the prestigious No 1 Poultry’s co-working space We Work, where Beth enjoys complimentary after-work drinks on a Thursday along with other perks such as shared conference rooms, cozy lounges and a dedicated games area.
