Laura Truelove

Senior Digital Officer, Welsh Government

Laura Truelove is a Senior Digital Officer for the Welsh Government. She manages several, high profile English and Welsh language (Cymraeg) social media accounts, including The Welsh Government’s Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn. During her role, she has seen over a 1000% increase in followers across these channels. Passionate about the Welsh language, she provides guidance to others on creating bilingual content, via LinkedIn, talks and training sessions. The people of Wales have shaped Laura’s digital strategy, and with the help of her creative team she strives to make these channels the most engaging and accessible in public sector communications. She recently spoke at our sister event, Social Media Dublin, about how she uses Cymraeg on social media, which sparked an interest following the introduction of the Irish Language Act.
