Burnley Football Club
I was fortunate to be presented with an opportunity to gain work experience at Burnley FC via chairman Alan Pace who had stayed in contact after our first interview.
In this role, I created digital content in the form of game highlights and helped behind the scenes in many other different departments (Business Development, Hospitality, Ticketing)
Along with this I also helped with Editing pieces of content and other digital content pieces such as the Kit Launch and player arrivals.
Doing this for 6 months gave me an insight into how media was created at a football club in a very fast-paced environment.
Accrington Stanley Football Club
At Accrington Stanley, I got to shadow the Media Manager on matchday to get a behind the scene knowledge of how everything worked.
I shadowed the media manager whilst writing match notes which were later turned into a match report. I also got an insight into how to edit the club's official site and a variety of interviews carried out with BBC Sport.
I would go there on non-matchdays to cover the pre-match interviews and followed up with matchdays where I would write my own match report following the game
This was over the course of a 2 year period in between Burnley FC games.
