At a social media marketing agency, it’s fair to say that no two days are they same. And while there’s no such thing as a typical day at the OCOCO office, I’m excited to share a behind-the-scenes look at a day in my life...
My morning routine is usually reasonably straightforward; wake up, get ready and jump in the car. I enjoy listening to music and podcasts during my commute in. At the moment my favourites would be Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department and The Rest Is Football podcast. On arrival at the Northern Design Centre I head up to the office ready to see what we have in store for the day.
@9am Starting the day in the right way ☀️ 👋
Once I’m all logged in and ready to start work, I check through my emails and social notifications for clients. This can vary a great deal, but is always a good way to ease into the work day. We get a variety of queries into the office, so it’s important to be in close contact with our clients via email and phone.
@10am Editing a masterpiece 🎥 🎨
Today I had some video editing to complete for a client. I use Adobe Premiere Pro for most edits, as I've been working with this software for a long time and find it to be very practical. Editing is one of the most enjoyable aspects of my job, as it allows me to express my creativity and produce some brilliant content for clients. We provide video editing services specifically for social media content, but we also work on other video projects. These can be really rewarding as there's often more depth.
@12pm Writing up a storm ✍️ 🚗
I started the afternoon with some copywriting for an account. This particular client is a car dealership so there’s usually some brilliant visuals we can use to create fantastic content for our clients. I tend to keep my writing style short and simple. This helps to convey a strong message to the audience, and it’s always important to include a clear call to action.
@1pm Brain food 🥪 🍏
Although there’s sometimes brilliant food vans available at the Northern Design Centre, including pizza and burgers (and sometimes healthier options), today I opted for a home-made chicken wrap and some fruit.
@2pm Off on an adventure 📸 💻
After lunch I was visiting a client on-site for an event, so I had to pack my stuff up and head down to the location. For this event we were working on photography and live-posting, so it was vital we prepared in advance. It was a great event and the client was really pleased with the coverage.
@5pm The home stretch ⚽ 🐉
After a quick trip back to the office, it was time to finish up and head out. I participate in a variety of things on the evenings that often revolve around playing football and coaching. This evening I was helping to coach a junior team during their training session. Once I got home I finished up the evening watching some House of the Dragon, I’ve been trying desperately to catch up!
