Brief

What had to be solved

TPN needed trustworthy, regular content without multiplying external production cost, timeline pressure or inconsistency across platforms.

My contribution

What I did

I designed the digital strategy, established the in-house livestream studio and built repeatable programme, pre-production and distribution workflows. I also mentored a cross-functional team and aligned the work with product and marketing stakeholders.

Key decisions and process

Why the decisions mattered

  1. 01Build an internal lighting, audio and multi-camera capability
  2. 02Create repeatable webinar and livestream formats around expert knowledge
  3. 03Use chaptering, search-aware packaging and short clips to extend each programme
  4. 04Transfer production knowledge so the capability remained useful to the team

What was delivered

What changed or was delivered

YouTube engagement doubled within six months, social audiences grew by approximately 200%, and an internal repeatable production capability was established.
