After graduating from my Bachelor of Science, I started working as a Digital Content Producer in the International Marketing and Communications division at Deakin University. My job keeps me on my toes and I’m responsible for a spectrum of things which include executing large-budget digital campaigns, managing content marketing blogs, and leading end-to-end video production duties.
A large part of my role involves producing audience-focused content across different platforms, and this is a skill I’ve developed from my time studying science communication. Working with an international audience, I need to be extremely mindful of cultural-sensitivities in the visual and written content I produce. One day I could be developing website content for an Indonesian audience, and the next, I could be creating Facebook ads targeting Nigerian prospects.
There’s no doubt the skills you learn from science communication are transferrable across any industry you find yourself in!
