Hey UK content creator and media friends!
I have a possible cool opportunity for you. Especially if you like geeky merch and arcade games. 🕹️
Got your interest? Get in touch :)
Feel free to RT.
Working on a project that possibly needs some voice over support.
Keeping it broad atm but if you have a reel or some examples of VO work I'd love to hear it.
Needed:
English-speaking voice actors.
British (M/F), Spanish (M), Portuguese (M), Italian (M), American (M).
Whilst in Gran Canaria enjoying moment after moment it was very clear to me that there is only one person I want to spend every moment with for the rest of my life.
So I asked
@ellielou22
to marry me as the sun set on the beach and she said yes!
Happy to announce that I am the new Head of Gaming at
@SocialChain
.
Looking forward to continuing to push
@GameByte
and
@frag_hero
forward and leading the team.
The gaming team are amazing and it is an honour to be able to work with them every day.
I still find it crazy less people adopt black cats. They're great and just as photogenic as any other cat.
Here's the boi himself, Vincent, to prove that point.

Exciting news!
I have officially been promoted to the Creative and Partnerships Manager of GameByte.
What does this mean? My focus now is building partnerships with games companies, streamers etc whilst also leading the creative of our original content.
So yeah. Get in touch!
Life update:
That's right. It's fancy screen recording time.
I am glad to announce that I am now a Creative Strategist at
@heavenmedia
.
Really looking forward to working with the team and doing amazing things.
A life update:
As of today I am no longer a part of Social Chain. I've had a wonderful time at the company over the last 5 years, working with and managing some incredible people.
I've worked on projects and campaigns I could've never dreamed of and I'm grateful for everything.
Lockdown 3 is very much like Kingdom Hearts 3.
Sure it's the 3rd official lockdown but there's been loads of spin off lockdowns in-between and I don't have a fucking clue what's going on.
Life update time!
I am now a Marketing Executive at
@otherthingsxyz
. An awesome gaming and entertainment focused full service creative agency based in Leeds.
We do social, website, trailers, design, marketing and so much more!
Want to work together? Get in touch :)
Very happy to say I've passed my probation at
@heavenmedia
!
It has been an awesome 3 months and I'm looking forward to the future ☺️
The team has done a great job in making me feel welcome. Can't wait to be able to talk about some of the great stuff I've been working on!
This afternoon my grandad passed away peacefully in his sleep whilst I was there with him holding his hand.
He was a wonderful man that taught me so much and I love him dearly.
Tell your loved ones you love them every chance you get.
People bitching about Friends finally getting added to UK Netflix because "it's repeated on Comedy Central all the time."
I wish I had the decadent lifestyle where I subscribed to cable AND had streaming services. What a lifestyle that must be.
Love this campaign for
#PlayExpoManchester

Temporary signs set up around the city at Metrolink stops.
Helps promote the tram shortly after its pricing structure change to zones and helps hype the event happening on the 4th and 5th in its new home of

My mum is very proud of me on Facebook.
I'm obviously very happy to get my promotion and I was not prepared for how people would react to it and go further than a simple "congrats".
But knowing I've made my mum and family proud is a feeling that's hard to really put into words.
I've been told I can officially say this now.
I am 100% going to be attending E3 this year. Very excited. I may be 31 but this is my first time getting to go to it.
I've stayed up late watching E3 more times than I can remember.
It's an honour to be there repping GameByte.
I unfortunately find myself facing redundancy again.
If you're looking for someone with experience in:
- Strategy
- Social
- Creative
- Marketing
- Writing
- Management
- A whole host of other things

My grandpa passed away this morning after a long battle with amyloidosis among other things.
He was a kind and caring man that meant a lot to me.
Many of my school holidays growing up were spent with him and Grandy and I'll always have those memories.
I'll never forget him.
@AndyBurnhamGM
I mean... People can support the city without going into the office.
Heck some might even have more money due to not going into the office to spend on the economy in the city.
Don't have to sit in a building with others to "support" it.
Has there ever been a January THIS strong in gaming? Surely this is even stronger than last year.
Tales of Vesperia DE
Ace Combat 7
Resident Evil 2
Kingdom Hearts 3
Plus a few other intriguing titles coming out too.
What a month!
Seeing people say £30k is what "a junior makes" is interesting because... It ain't. I want everyone to be paid more but I know people in various industries that £30k is far from "bad".
Also saying "you can get that doing retail" isn't a zinger. Retail workers deserve good pay.
FYI this is more of a content creator/influencer (whatever word you want to use) thing BUT as I get rocking in this new job I want to know cool people I can get in touch with when opportunities arise so, even if there is nothing for this it's good to know for the future 😀
Got carried away in the impromptu auction at
@mancgamers
for
@EveryoneCanUK
and spent £81 on Rock Band Rivals.
It's all for charity so that's great but I don't think I have room for a full Rock Band kit in my house 😂😂😂
They should make a Resident Evil game but all the doors open one way (and that's by pulling them, which is extremely impractical) until you get to the final boss where you have to escape by pulling open a push door like the opening of I Think You Should Leave.
Big QTE event.
Back down south and mum wants to take me to a deli because she knows I love sandwiches and my god.
Looking at their socials they might be the best sandwiches I've ever seen.
You ever think about the fact that, at some point in the history of British housing, someone looked at the ceiling and thought "what if we made it weirdly bumpy?" and everyone just copied it?
Flying home today. It's been an amazing holiday. I rode on some awesome rides, had delicious food, went on adventures, got a tan (t-shirt lines to prove it 😅) and spent all the time with my favourite person.
Also walked 167km in 12 days!
Looking forward to the next adventure.
Great news!

Thanks
@SafeInOurWorld
for the T-Shirt and badges!
I'm proud to be an ambassador for such a great charity.
Make sure to check out their website to find out more about them.
GameByte was the number 1 gaming page IN THE WORLD for the 2nd month running on Facebook in May according to
@TubularLabs
, with over 208 MILLION views.
We were also number 1 in the UK for the 4th month running, with more views than the rest of the top 7 combined!
My grandpa's funeral went well today. It has rained nearly all of today minus the hour of his service, where we had beautiful sunshine.
I got to hear lots of stories about him I had not heard before and it helped me realise even more how great a man he was.
