Royston Digital Consulting
As a media strategist, I help firms and nonprofit groups develop New Media that connects with their core constituents. This work draws on my technology expertise, 15+ years experience as a news reporter/visuals editor, and my time in the public service sector.
Expertise includes:
• Long/Short-term Digital Strategizing
• Design Thinking Workshops
• Human Factors Research
• Social Media and Content Marketing
• Product Design and Service Innovation
• Program Management and Evaluation
In these projects, I utilize my messaging and editing experience and my production skills in film editing, graphic design and audio
engineering: Adobe Creative Cloud, Illustrator, PhotoShop,
InDesign, Premiere, Audition, Audacity, ProTools, and more.
In 2015-16, I taught Digital Design bootcamps and helped small businesses develop social media in partnership with the social enterprise WorkHardPGH in Pittsburgh, PA.
