I worked for the University of Nottingham on a variety of different initiatives, but most notably on the BBSRC funded AgriFood Training Partnership (AFTP) project, a consortium of six leading UK based universities offering high-level online training courses, underpinned by cutting-edge scientific research, for people employed within the agrifood sector in the UK and overseas.

My role primarily involved supporting academic staff from all six AFTP delivery partner institutions to produce online distance and blended learning courses and assessment materials. My other day-to-day responsibilities included maintaining the AFTP website (Drupal 7 CMS) and associated CRM system (Civi), while also actively marketing these AFTP courses to prospects, including; devising promotions and campaigns, social media content creation, brand development, and producing print and digital marketing collateral.
