Peyton Pocock - Creative Project Manager & Technical Lead

While working as lead sound engineer for two years at Kidzrus youth theatre in St Ives, I gained operational experience working on technical production for a variety of shows such as Bugsy Malone, Mary Poppins, and annual Christmas pantomimes. Responsibilities included learning full scripts and pre-programming cues, managing and maintaining microphones, conducting pre-show sound checks, and front of house coordination.

In 2022 I moved to London for a year to work for an edu-tech company as a web designer & developer, working between marketing and technical development teams. As part of our marketing efforts we streamed monthly live events, hosting corporate talks and interviews. These were a mix of in-person and remote recordings. In 2024 I spoke on stage at Retail Week Live about the future of interactive technology in retail. Since 2024, I've freelanced as lead technical producer for an Italian-based marketing firm, producing remote interview events.

Over the last 3 months I have assisted The Copper Fox manage artist bookings, including negotiating agreements and scheduling.

In my role as Trustee at St Just Sports Centre, I recently organised and marketed a craft fair raising over £1.2k in funds for the charity.

For the last 5 years I have been working between technical and design roles, focusing on launching and maintaining websites and web-apps. During this time I have worked on over 30 projects from 8 countries. I have worked on projects in varying capacities, as both a lead designer or developer as well as under creative direction within larger production teams optimising user flows, SEO, and conversion funnels. These have included Jurnii, Clara, and Hundo, all venture-capital-backed tech startups, various London-based coffee companies, as well as larger international groups such as Coldplay, PwC, The Global Tech Advocates, Selph, and Tangoo.

In 2023 I assisted with designs for a web-app for gamified corporate training. The app was created in collaboration with PwC to be packaged for their own internal clients.

In 2024 I produced a marketing landing page for Coldplay ahead of their Music of the Spheres world tour in association with The Global Tech Advocates and Coldplay's climate commitment partners.

Last year I co-led a digital rebrand and relaunch for The Old Lifeboat House in Penzance, including a new website and photography. The new website and Google maps listing gained a combined 15k views in the first 3 months. Across all projects, my designs are viewed approximately 1.1 million times per year (estimated Q4 2025).

Currently I co-manage St Just Sports Centre as one of two trustees on a part-time basis. At the charity I co-lead all commercial and strategic decision making, including our incredible team of 12 volunteers (up from about 9 volunteers a few months ago), 1 paid member of staff, and various contracted instructors.

Since taking on the role we have implemented a new digital user management system and switched to a subscription model to increase our predictable monthly revenue, our month on month revenue is now up by about 45% in the last 5 months, partially driven by seasonal sign-ups. We recently launched a new app which connects to our user booking system, with a new website launching in the coming weeks with automated scheduling and marketing systems.

We are also pursuing grant funding; our most recent £20k application has been approved to proceed to the next review stage. After storm Goretti, we successfully launched a fundraising campaign for essential repairs needed to our sports hall roof. The campaign was featured on local ITV news and national papers, raising £7k in two weeks.

In my personal time I love to stay active by playing badminton and cycling along the local coast. I particularly enjoy getting involved in community projects and have a keen interest in urban planning; occasionally participating in local planning consultations. In the past couple of years I have volunteered for Golowan on event days.
