Ellie Sturgess – Social Media Manager and UGC Content Creator
Ellie is a 22-year-old Bishop’s Stortford resident, university student and small business owner working in social media management and user-generated content creation.
In this episode, Ellie explains how she turned a hobby of posting on TikTok and Instagram into a growing business. She creates UGC (user-generated content) for brands, producing short-form videos that companies can use in their advertising campaigns, helping products feel more authentic and relatable to audiences.
Alongside this, Ellie manages social media accounts for small businesses that don’t have the time to run their own platforms, creating content and helping them showcase what they do online. She shares how she started by reaching out to brands for collaborations, how opportunities grow through persistence, and why social media has opened the door for a new generation of young entrepreneurs.
