Channel 4:
4Sales

Industry-savvy B2B content

4Sales is a division of Channel 4 dedicated to keeping the television and advertising industry on top of audience trends and programme updates across TV, VOD & Social. Me? Well, I just so happened to guest-star on their Linkedin copy…

Client: Channel 4

Services: Copywriting, content management

Agency: Digitaloft, Employed (link)

Year: 2022

Three posts from Linkedin with long-form copy. The first post is about a TV programme, the second is about a Google ad with a same-sex kiss as the image, the third uses a Gogglebox image to represent TV stats.

This just in:
reactive content

The nature of this client meant that content was prepared 1-2 weeks in advance with reactive content throughout. Each post varied wildly in context, meaning each post was an exercise of research and problem-solving for conciseness. And, of course, their recognisable TOV.

A screenshot of a social media post saying: We're not done giving praise where it's due! Last month, Channel 4 was proud to award Vanish as the winner of the prestigious £1 million Diversity In Advertising Award 2022. In partnership with Ambitious about Autism, the brand responded with a powerful and moving idea to help girls be seen as part of the broader public understanding of autism. Below, there is the opening frame of a video showcasing the ad.
A screenshot of a social media post saying: Hey, we see you. Scrolling on Linkedin for a little inspo – don't worry, we've got tonnes of lightbulb moments. From our recent Gogglebox partnership to last month's ad break takeover, we've got campaigns aplenty. Find your eureka moment: Link. Below, there is an image of a young nonbinary teen with a CTA.

Collaborations

I played the dual role of copywriter and account manager here, with content and ads being scheduled by a social media manager. I would later train a junior copywriter to inherit the content going forward.
