My role as Marketing & Communications Manager covers many areas of the business, a few of which include:

• Managing our social media sites

• Audience development & analysis

• Stakeholder communications

Basically it’s down to me to make sure people know about and support Barbican Theatre, our work, plans and activity and at the same time find out what people want to see and be involved with so we offer a product they want! I’m thrilled we’re now partnering with The Plymouth Athenaeum to redevelop the Athenaeum building as a vibrant theatre, music, comedy, dance, lecture, screenings, and lifelong learning venue.  Having spent many happy years performing there as a child in the 1980s,  it’s incredible to have the support of so many people in Plymouth and beyond who want to see it brought fully into public use.

I joined Barbican Theatre in February 2016, and I’ve never looked back. I have always loved live entertainment and the theatre so when the opportunity to join the Barbican Theatre team arose I couldn’t believe my luck – getting to market something I truly cared about was a dream come true. I’m Plymouthian born and bred and feel so lucky to live and work in such a vibrant part of the country: there aren’t many places to live where you have city life, the coast and beautiful moorlands all together. I have 19 years experience in marketing and communications, a BA Hons degree in Public Relations  with Media and a Diploma (with Distinction) in Digital Marketing.
