I’m Liv. I make websites better.
I’ve been curating www.bbc.co.uk for the last decade.
It’s the front page of one of the nation’s most visited websites.
We have 8 million unique browsers a week. It’s taught me a lot about audience behaviour.
I do content strategy and content planning, imagery, headlines, data analysis, page layout, audience journeys, editorial judgement and copywriting.
I understand the disparate things that come together to extract that extra click, keep audiences with us for longer, and give them onward journeys that further our business needs.
Other work:
Building the BBC’s Mental Wellbeing hub from scratch (including SEO)
Creating a cross-promotional social media content programme between BBC Learning English and the World Service Language Services
Training the BBC Radio Leeds news team to make digital content.
I’m currently working on a World Service initiative to increase female audiences by 25 million in just two years.
I’m a former radio journalist and English Language teacher with a love of chat and meeting new people from all over the world. I speak both French and Spanish, from several years living abroad.
These days I live in Manchester, with two kids and my beautiful if psychologically damaged rescue cat. I also volunteer as a school governor, scrutinisng an annual budget of £2.4 million.
I know it’s retro, but it’s rare when a website isn’t improved by a cat picture.
