Chris Rogers

A self-motivated, reliable and adaptable Sport Business Management graduate with a varied background in digital marketing, content writing and publishing, customer service, administrative procedures and sales. 

Massively passionate about football and sports with the hope of finding a role that combines my sporting interests with my career. 

Currently working for the energy research and consultancy firm Wood Mackenzie as a Digital Marketing Specialist. Day-to-day responsibilities include building and publishing SEO, and user journey optimised web pages. Liaising with internal and external stakeholders is a key aspect of the role, ensuring seamless communication and quick action. Monthly reporting across web and app on key metrics including engagement rate and time to first conversion. General administrative procedures and diary scheduling. Planning and posting social content across a range of platforms using the Oktopost social engagement suite. 

Outside of work I enjoy playing football and darts, spending time with loved ones and learning about the foreign exchange markets.

Having spent the last 2 years with Wood Mackenzie, starting as an apprentice, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and skills. As a Digital Marketing Specialist on the .COM team I am responsible for the building of web pages, technical back-end work such as URL redirects and page archiving, and responding to all internal stakeholder queries regarding the website.

Prior to Wood Mackenzie I spent a valuable 8 months as a Freelance Football Journalist for the sports blog, FromTheSpot. During this time I would curate football specific articles for publishing on the website. The most frequently publish content was match reports. Time-management was a skill that was tested during the process as reports had to be published on the site within 20 minutes of the match finishing. Immaculate planning and preparation was essential to keep to the strict deadlines.

After graduating from Sheffield Hallam University in 2021, I took on a role as an Electronics Technician for the electronics manufacturing company Cambertronics. My main responsibilities included soldering and metal work, component construction and order invoicing. Excellent attention to detail was a key aspect of the role due to the volume of items being dealt with per order. 

From 2018 to 2021 I studied Sport Business Management (BSc Honours) at Sheffield Hallam University. I graduated with a 2:1 grade. I thoroughly enjoyed the course with the standout modules being the sport in the community work and the general sports marketing elements. Another area I found rewarding was the business development module. Learning about the inner workings of elite sporting organisations from industry professionals was fascinating.
