- Liaise with Co-op and their agency on a regular basis to deliver progress reports and request any extra information.

- Deliver regular briefings to the journalists, explaining the parameters of the articles and what is required of them.

- Answer any questions they have or contact the Co-op for more information.

- Track engagement metrics across all articles in detailed reports and provide weekly updates for Co-op.

- Check that all articles and social posts are correct once published, e.g. checking all links are working and relevant parties have been tagged.

- Assist with the creation of proposals for potential partnerships and co-ordinate their execution.
