working in heritage, the countryside & digital communication
Ruth B Kerr
#freelance #portfoliocareer #manyhats
A versatile professional with a range of experience.
I have over thirty years’ professional experience in museums & heritage, helping connect communities with their stories. My understanding of the rural sector comes from first-hand experience: I was raised in a family intimately tied to the land and the countryside.
Today I draw on all of this, helping organisations in both the heritage sector and the countryside tell stories and connect with their communities – in person and online.
I'm a qualified Forest School Leader and a museum Trustee.
Why Museums and More? It reflects the sectors I work across. If you follow me on social media, you'll know I wear many hats for work!
Whatever she turns her hand to is delivered professionally, efficiently and effectively. More testimonials here.

Digital Communications - Social Media for Niche Sectors
I don’t "post online"; I find the right tone, the right messages and the right balance of give and ask for your audience.
I’ve successfully managed social media accounts for organisations in the museums & heritage sector, rural sector, charity sector and education sector, as well as for communities and special events.
I can help you with:
-
heritage storytelling: showcasing the relevance of your collections
-
Field-to-Screen: authentic online voices for rural businesses
-
community connection: boosting local presence for groups and events
