Background

About Mario Cacciottolo

I’m a former BBC journalist with years of experience in corporate communications, social media management and project management. I was an award-winning journalist who covered hard news, breaking news and feature stories for the BBC News website, radio and television platforms. I also reported on news stories internationally, in locations such as Sierra Leone, Israel, the West Bank and Malta. I’ve a track record of high-quality hard news and long-form journalism. One of my stories, about Lego washing up for decades on a British beach, broke records for the BBC News website. I've also worked for digital marketing companies, venture capital firms, podcast producers and PR agencies, writing first-class and insightful copy on many topics and for social media. Aside from my writing work, I run Dark Malta Tours, a series of dark history walks around the Maltese islands. I research and develop historically accurate tours that educate, entertain and send a shiver down the spine.
