Riding the TV Marketing and Social Media Wave - Pomell, S & Fadian, A.

Television is something that has always interested me. My name is Safiya Pomell and my journey into the industry started in 2012 when I joined a specialist school on the broadcasting strand at the age of 15. Being apart of Television and Broadcasting at the University of Portsmouth has really helped me improve on my skills, from my general work ethic to knowledge and professionalism. I succeeded in landing a CCITV managerial role as the marketing manager. The Creative Cultural Industries TV channel is our specially designed platform to allow the emulation of professional practice and it is run by third year students who produce live TV each week! Tackling the role of marketing manager was always going to be a big challenge. It was a role I was excited to throw myself into and explore further as marketing, advertising and social interaction is something that intrigues me.
