BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra appoints Charlotte Greenman and Alex Manzi as social media producers
BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra have appointed social media producers to handle the Twitter, Facebook and other social activity for the stations.
Starting from February, Charlotte Greenman – who currently works on BBC's EastEnders’ social media team – will become social media producer for BBC Radio 1.
Alex Manzi, co-founder and editor of independent music website We Are SME will begin work for BBC 1Xtra at the same time.
Ben Cooper, controller of Radio 1 and 1Xtra, said: “Our DJs represent us on air, now our social media producers will represent us online. Radio 1 and 1Xtra are multiplatform brands and that’s why our audience can now listen, watch and share our content.”
The aim of the appointments is to create a consistent tone of voice, sense of humour and enable more interaction with listeners.
