Social-First Creators - TikTok & Instagram Storytelling Experiments

My time in transport is done! After eight years, my post was closed in a restructuring affecting hundreds of colleagues. A difficult time for many. It’s been an extraordinary eight years though: plane crashes, mass layoffs, strikes, the impact of covid on the travel sector + red light/ green light (remember that!) I can get to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Dover on autopilot due to the number of visits! I've been very privileged to meet pilots, drivers, engineers, captains - very passionate and skilled people who keep the transport sector moving, and also see behind the scenes of incredible places. Eurotunnel being one of my favourites. Thank you to everyone who shared their stories, time and expertise. I’m fortunate to be staying at the BBC - now as a reporter focused primarily on social media storytelling as organisations like the BBC continue to reflect changing media consumption. Digital transformation here I come! My brief remains Money & Work stories and as always, If you've got a story, a tip, or a perspective on where social-first journalism is heading next, I'd love to hear from you. And if you're experimenting with storytelling on TikTok, Instagram or beyond, let's have a coffee.
