Who am I?
Hello, I’m Tallie Proud,
I was born in the 80’s which makes me a millennial, but I prefer the 90’s. I’m a middle child (something my family likes to remind me about) and an introvert (though that doesn’t mean I’m not sociable). I’m obsessed with TV and know the plot of most shows (even the ones I’m not watching). My drink of choice is a gin & tonic and I’ll never say no to a bacon sandwich.
Creativity and art is in my blood. I have a degree in photography, thousands of words of fiction writing under my belt and I’ve been known to do a bit of graphic design in my spare time too. I’ve got a head full of social media knowledge too thanks to a career in the subject.
My digital comms background:
I have over 14 years experience working in digital comms.
I spent just over five years working as part of an award-winning in-house digital team for a nationally recognised organisation. During those five years, we rebuilt 4 websites in 18 months, launched huge national campaigns, was involved in publishing breaking stories and devised innovative projects that received media attention. Alongside all that, I also travelled the country to train hundreds of people in social media and developed a series of online and in-person events to increase digital literacy and creative use of digital.
Following on from that, I joined a digital agency where I got to travel the world to support corporate teams with their crisis comms preparedness and digital capability. I was involved in major social media audits and training for government departments including the Department for Education, supported the RAF with social media projects and ran crisis exercises for billion dollar companies. Before leaving, I was Head of Content, responsible for designing and managing all agency content.
