A BMW driven by Mr. Nguyen Sy Cuong (a former National Assembly deputy) collided with a motorcycle, severely injuring an 18-year-old female student. The incident is sparking widespread discussion and public outrage on social media regarding the progress of the investigation and resolution. "The incident has caused prolonged public outrage because the driver responsible was neither arrested nor prosecuted."At approximately 1:15 PM on May 30, 2025 (Vietnam Time), a black BMW X3 with license plate 30H-369.09, while traveling on Nguyen Huy Tu Street, Bach Dang Ward, Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi City (now Hai Ba Trung Ward, Hanoi City), suddenly swerved into the oncoming lane. The vehicle accelerated rapidly at high speed and struck a motorcycle driven by a man (her dad) carrying his 18-year-old daughter, who was traveling in the correct lane. The car lost control and crashed into a nearby tree, severely deforming its front end. The accident broke the man's leg, severed the girl's right leg, and heavily damaged the motorcycle.​At 12:34 AM on June 8, 2025, more than a week after the accident, an account named Do Quang Minh (a relative of the victim) posted confirming that the victim had passed away, shortly before the 2025 High School Graduation Examination was set to take place. According to the post, the victim's name was Thùy, affectionately known at home as Mina. On June 10, 2025, information regarding Thùy's funeral circulated online via an image of an obituary. According to the obituary, she passed away at 10:07 PM on June 7, 2025 (Vietnam Time). The visitation ceremony was held on June 11, 2025, at the National Funeral Home, located at No. 5 Tran Thanh Tong Street, Hanoi. Vietnamese press did not disclose the full name of the BMW driver responsible for the accident, only releasing the initials "N.S.C." alongside the birth year 1961. According to Nguoi Viet Daily, this information matches Mr. NGUYỄN SỸ CƯƠNG, a former deputy of the 14th National Assembly and former Vice Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Assembly.[1] Bouquets of flowers were placed around the base of the tree at the accident site by the people one year after the event occurred, in the context of many police officers standing on duty. [2] Flowers were brought by the people to place around the base of tree number 55 on Nguyen Huy Tu street to commemorate the victims who died in the accident. VIETNAMESE MEDIA REMAINS SILENT IN THE FACE OF YOUTH REACTIONS!!HOWEVER, AS OF THE AFTERNOON OF AUGUST 14, THE MEMORIAL FLOWERS WERE CLEARED UNDER POLICE SUPERVISION!THE INCIDENT HAS CAUSED PROLONGED PUBLIC OUTRAGE BECAUSE THE DRIVER RESPONSIBLE WAS NEITHER ARRESTED NOR PROSECUTED!!!THE INCIDENT HAS CAUSED PROLONGED PUBLIC OUTRAGE BECAUSE THE DRIVER RESPONSIBLE WAS NEITHER ARRESTED NOR PROSECUTED!!!THE INCIDENT HAS CAUSED PROLONGED PUBLIC OUTRAGE BECAUSE THE DRIVER RESPONSIBLE WAS NEITHER ARRESTED NOR PROSECUTED!!!

Love Island: Series 11 Pre Show Live Stream

Following the first Live Stream we did in the minutes before the Love Island All Stars final, we made the decision to go live ahead of the series 11 final.

For this one though I wanted us to improve on what we achieved last time by ensuring we found time to interview the finalists as well as the returning Dumped Islanders and I also wanted us to go live across Instagram as well to reach a wider audience.

To ensure we interviewed everyone we had to work around the shows own logistics which meant we had to go live from two different locations. The finalists would be out the front of the Villa getting their photographs taken, whilst the Dumped Islanders would be seated in the audience. From a technical standpoint this was a challenge due to signal drop outs moving around the Villa but we managed to overcome this by playing out a pre-prepared a VT to give us some time to repo.

I worked with out technical team on location to deliver a stream to both TikTok and Instagram, using vmix meant we could take a feed straight from our make-shift gallery to the platforms.

For this broadcast we went live across both platforms and reached over 460k accounts in the 30-minute window, all with the aim to drive the audiences scrolling online to watch live on the channel.

Love Island: Series 9

I was so excited to be returning to Lifted Entertainment as it meant I would once again be working on Love Island, but this time in my new role as Head of Creative Branding and Digital. Love Island is a show that always generates such a buzz when it’s on, the audience expectation can almost become overwhelming to deliver the very best content under such a microscope.

Ahead of the series this January we faced a huge challenge delivering an ambitious content plan in the lead up to launch. We had to edit large files remotely and across a Christmas break, create original content for our social platforms, launch our show app, announce a pre-show vote, whilst also flying half-way around the world.

On the other side of it, I couldn’t be happier looking at, not just the content that’s been delivered to the audience, but how well executed everything has gone on behind the scenes. Such an incredible team, and a few of them are only just getting started. Every piece of social media editorial content you’ll see across the series will come from this incredibly talented, but surprisingly small team of Sharn, Rachel, Emma & Mathilda. So keep your eyes out for their daily First Looks, show memes, TikToks, social videos and more!

But to the team that got us to launch, thank you!

Senior Digital Producer: Sharn Rayment

PD and Editor: Lydia Harrison

Digital Producer and Editor: Franky Harte

Editor: Rachel Hagreen

Editor: Bethan Harrison

Digital Producer: Emma Njagi

Digital Producer: Mathilda McLaughlin

They covered Islander announcements, Islander profile videos, original TikToks, Instagram albums, a vote launch, a new villa tour and some punny social copy that even caught the attention of Radio 1 breakfast host Greg James.

In total the team published over 100 posts across all platforms and amassed over 31million video views across all platforms before episode 1 even went on air.

The series in numbers

During the run the team published over 2,500 pieces of content across our social media pages, website and app. 

The content generated over 580 million organic video views across the series.

To date our posts accumulated over 43 million likes and encouraged over 590,000 shares.

On average a piece of content would reach over 700,000 views on Tiktok and 550,000 video views on Instagram.

I’m very grateful and thankful to have these freelancers on this project… now for the show!

BBC Studios: Avoidance

We worked with Ranga Bee Productions to create some original social content for this brand new sitcom. Deadpan comedian Romesh Ranganathan stars as people-pleasing beta male Jonathan, a recently-dumped dad with severe conflict avoidance issues who is forced to change for the sake of his son.

The comedy is as warm and bittersweet as it is funny, with episode 1 securing a place in BBC One’s top 10 comedy titles of the year so far.

We attended set and spent the day recording with the cast, and sat down with them individually to make a series of videos.

BBC Studios: Top Gear Series 32

Entering my third series of Top Gear we were given a slightly different brief to the previous series. The publishing team had the ambition to create content that would encourage engagement, so we (Josh) adjusted the meme-style content we’d made in the previous series to fulfill this. With the opportunity to organically reach more of the audience on Instagram another key area to explore was creating Instagram Reels. We (Rachel) cut out a variety of options for the publishing team to use to highlight the stand-out moments from each episode.

As with previous years, we also attended a huge amount of show shoots to capture BTS videos so we had original content to publish throughout the run.

On top of the work for our publishing team, we were briefed by our marketing team to create various paid assets throughout the series. We (James) cut short clips and overlaid kinetic text to grab the audience's attention for when they are served in the user's newsfeed.

BBC Studios: Inside No.9 Series 7

To assist with the launch of the 7th series of Inside No.9 we were briefed by our team in China to produce some video content for them to use on Bili Bili & Weibo.

We visited the set numerous times and shot interviews with various crew members to give an insight into how Inside No.9 is put together. We covered the role of the Director, Wardrobe, Set Designer, Hair & Make-up, and what it’s like to be a guest star on the show.

Once the series had wrapped we visited the Creators/Writers/Actors/Exec Producers, Reece and Steve in their writing office. We shot two additional videos, a Q&A, and a memory game titled ‘Where’s The Hare?’. Superfans of the show know that in every episode a brass hare is hidden, and we challenged them both to recall where they were hidden across the 7 series.

BBC Studios: Top Gear Series 31

Series 31 was my first full campaign and working with the show’s stakeholders we worked to create clear digital franchises. There was an opportunity to take footage from the show team that didn’t make the final edit and create an ‘Unseen’ brand. As well as this we worked with one of the show’s directors Jon Richards to gain insight into how certain films are created. The team produced in excess of 200 assets for our publishing team to use across the course of the campaign.

I also brought in some of my learnings from other shows I’ve worked on and started some Instagram Story Quizzes. They are low effort for the talent and give a great opportunity for the audience to have some content to engage with ahead of an episode.

Love Island: Cast Announcement

Instagram grids. We’ve all see a brand appear in our feeds with half a word cut off with cropped section of a product, only to then go to their feed to be able to see their full message. I’m sure we can all agree that we universally hate them. There’s one message and 9 or 12 posts, with not a lot to see when you go into each image. But! Grids can be done well, and when they’re done properly they can be extremely effective.

For the Love Island series 7 cast reveal I was briefed by Jen Leeming and Chris Younie from ITV to create a bespoke piece of work that revealed each Islander to the public. I wanted to take this idea and go one step further. I wanted to tie each individual artwork into the rest, and make one bigger piece that linked them together. This would then in turn help to raise awareness that there was a wider announcement than just one single Islander.

To achieve this effectively I also wanted to ensure that the grid would NEVER “break”. It shouldn’t only look correct if the account always, and only, published three images at a time from here on.

The design started with a repeating background so that as it went beyond 3 posts the sand would always look correct. Once this was in place, I set about placing in each Islanders initial Polaroid and writing their name in the sand. This meant that each Islander had their own post to introduce them and give each individual post a purpose.

As it’s likely that a user would’ve only seen a single post in their feed, I then wanted to use secondary items that were cut off to subtly indicate that the post was part of a wider art piece. I began to add items that were related to the show, photographing a Love Island water bottle I had, as well as some Love Island sunglasses and sourcing other materials. They key to ensuring that at no point the grid looked broken was to have it so that every post bled through the left and into the right of the next post as well as upwards into third post after it.

Despite having an odd number of Islanders, it doesn’t matter as the images snake down the grid as further content is published and at no point looks like a broken grid.

BBC Studios: Top Gear Series 30

I joined the Top Gear team midway through their series 30 campaign on a freelance basis to oversee the post-production of the digital content. Before joining the team had been out with the shows’ Production team capturing various BTS films to accompany the show on social media.

For the campaign we delivered a variety of digital original content as well as various trailers, clips, memes and quizzes.

The Circle: Reveal Room

For series 3 there was a huge impact on the show’s production due to be filmed during the pandemic. Because of the restrictions it meant that the live Friday shows were unable to go ahead.

This enabled the social media strategy to be adjusted to create some new social first original content. On the live show a huge moment was Emma giving the Players a chance to discover who they had actually be playing against in The Circle. For series 3 this meant we could bring this feature to the social media platforms and focus on how it could be delivered best for that audience.

Due to location restrictions I had to produce and film the pieces completely solo with the Players.

I carefully considered how the audience would consume these videos and opted to shoot the video for vertical viewing as the majority of our viewing was on mobile devices. To make the most of the screen real estate I stacked the show footage directly above the Player giving the audience a unique viewing experience.

The videos performed well across all of our social media platforms and will hopefully return in this format for future series.

I’m A Celebrity: Castle Brand Redesign

With I’m A Celebrity relocating from the Australian Jungle to a Welsh Castle, we needed to have an overhaul of the digital designs which reflected the show’s visual aesthetic.

I swapped the warm jungle leaves and vibrant wood textures for cold rough stone, saturated woods and localised foliage.

The previous template design limited the producers to have the same thumbnail each time so I introduced the ability to vary each one to create a unique thumbnail for every video. The controls allowed the producer to switch: 

Wood textures

Sign angles

Critter overlay animations

Foliage

As the show has a variety of content types I also wanted to introduce visual cues for the audience. This meant that pre transmission, post transmission and original content each had their own distinct thumbnail design.

Overall the videos and designs follow a similar layout and pattern, which made it clear that it was that same show, but had a clear style change to reflect the different show we were going to be producing for 2020.

I’m A Celebrity: TikTok Campaign

I was brought back to ITV by Jen Leeming to help launch and maintain a digital strategy for ITV’s launch of their I’m A Celebrity TikTok campaign.

Read more about the launch.

Due to COVID restrictions we were unable to be in Wales at any point during the series which limited our usual access to talent, and any Celebrities who left the Castle. That combined with our obvious restriction of being unable to interact with any of the Campmates during their time on the show made for a difficult challenge.

I wanted to ensure that what we offered on the TikTok account was totally different from the rest of our social pages, and also taking the time to find moments that played to the platform strengths. One of the biggest areas of TikTok are the challenges that appear in an instant, but almost disappear as quickly. I ensured I was consistently up to date with all of the latest trends to find any opportunity that I could manipulate and edit show footage to fit into one of these moments.

The ‘use this sound’ feature is a huge asset to growing a new account. Landing a clip with a strong piece of audio that the users could use in their own way, puts you across countless pages. A fan favourite has always been Ant & Dec’s show opening, and in years gone by we supplied the lines so the audience could play along at home. TikTok allowed us to take one step further by allowing users to record their own Ant & Dec opening links.

At the heart of I’m A Celebrity, it is a feel good family show. Over a few weeks we follow various Celebrities overcoming harsh conditions to give them a new outlook, and to appreciate the non material things in life. During this transition there are huge heartwarming and uplifting moments which we could create some compilations from.

The campaign ran for just under 2 months and in that time we accumulated 418k fans, earned over 4 million content likes and reached 27 millions video views. Despite launching at the end of the year the account was credited by TikTok as being one of the top 10 breakthrough accounts of 2020.

I’m A Celebrity: Campmate Instagram Carousels

For multiple series I’m A Celebrity has released a series of Instagram carousels ahead of the series launch. This is to not only differentiate the feed from other accounts who also have access to the press image (the first image of the slide) but to visually break down more about each Celebrity.

Since series 19 the format covers:

Press image and their name

Their occupation

A quote explaining why they’re doing the show

Examples of their Instagram Story stickers now available

A quote about their thoughts ahead of the show

For series 20 we had to adjust the background artwork to fit in with the Castle look and feel whilst keeping the same, or similar, objects in that space.

Here are the finished posts:

I’m A Celebrity: Campmate TikTok Transitions

Ahead of the series launch we wanted to create as much content as possible for the audience to consume and share to drive viewing and awareness. During the photography shoots we recorded a short clips of the Celebrities before and after they tried on their Camp gear.

This year we launched a TikTok account for the show and we used these to maintain the account in lieu of any show content between the announcement and the first episode.

These videos alone generated 3.5 million views on the platform which, combined with our Campmate reveal video of 4 million views, meant we started the series with 265k followers and 1.2 million likes when the first episode started.

I’m A Celebrity: Master Interviews - Series 20

As part of the I’m A Celebrity Digital team I was put in charge of edit producing each of the Celebrity Master Interviews that were released online ahead of the show’s 20th series.

I had to overcome technical issues, working with a new team, and other obstacles as we adjusted the show to continue during to the Coronavirus pandemic.

We have a finite amount of time to deliver these to ensure we are ready to go with the press embargo to maximise the shows reach across social media platforms.

I produced a video for each individual Campmate as well as a compilation video which features the initial 10 Celebrities that would be heading to Camp. The video alone accumulated 3m views on Facebook, Twitter & YouTube, whilst their individual videos all surpassed 150k views across all platforms.
