Background

About Nathan Wapling

Fun, creative and reactive social media content creator. I’m currently part of the marketing Team at Peregrine Livefoods and managing 3 different home brands across all social media platforms. Day to day I produce content for these platforms and also plan ways of future growth and development. I network with customers and other businesses to build relationships and create collaborative content pieces. I came to this role after working for Peregrine for 4 years; Team leading the Animal Department. I realised that social media presence was something that the business was lacking and knew how powerful it can be through being successful with my personal TikTok and Instagram accounts. I recommend that this is something the business should enhance and use as a tool to stay current and engage with our end users; further enhancing brand awareness and reputation. I have a background studying Animal husbandry and a degree in Bio veterinary Science. This sets a solid foundation and principles for understanding the direct application of many products; including items for animals and how they aid welfare. I am able to use my background to articulate and make engaging content on socials that educates end users whilst showcasing the core principles and fundamental aspects of our products. Alongside working as a digital content creator I have experience working and helping with events and event organisation. Experience includes working and managing parties/private hires at a trampoline park; where I would deal with high paying customers and make sure that the venue was set up and decorated before hand/ see to any details on the day if the event. I managed a team of around 15 staff during these events and this included anything from these large hires to overseeing and managing up to 20 children’s parties a day in peak periods. Other event work has been for singer songwriter Imogen Heap. I work alongside a large team who get called in to run events. Often long weekends where I am involved with anything from set up, running a bar, directing people, staging sets, assisting catering, station drops e.c.t I thrive in busy environments with lots to do and work well under pressure. I’m a happy, highly enthusiastic character who alway wants to exceed in everything I do. Other skills and experience include; Mental Health firsthand aid training. Duke of Edinburgh Bronze and Silver awards Enterprise excellence award for my work with Peregrine during final year of university. Management/people training (attended at Peregrine livefoods)
