A talented pupil from Albyn School has been shortlisted for a prestigious Best Young Content Creator Award at the Football Content Awards 2024. Aaron, an S3 pupil, has gained local recognition for his creative, engaging and inspiring content, which has captivated audiences across the North East. 

The Best Young Content Creator Award honours creators who demonstrate exceptional skill, creativity, and a positive influence on their audience. Aaron is one of a number of nominees from across the UK in this highly competitive category.

Aaron began his content creation journey in 2019:

“I started my Youtube channel in 2019 however it was slow to start due to COVID with matches being played behind closed doors so it was really in 2021 before I was able to consistently vlog and it just became better and better and more popular.”

Aaron documents his passion for football and Aberdeen Football Club in engaging videos taking viewers pitchside and directly into a supporters seat. Aaron’s channel has grown steadily over the past few years with his followers reaching nearly 6500 in recent days.

“I think the channel has been so successful because I cover Aberdeen Football Club content and fans of the team like that. I travel around Scotland vlogging their team so it gives fans an insight if they can’t be there at the game themselves.”

Taking his passion for football beyond spectatorship, Aaron is also a keen sportsman and plays for the Albyn School football team. 

The awards ceremony takes place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on 21 November, where Aaron will be up against other talented young creators from across the country. Regardless of the outcome, he has already made his school and community incredibly proud. 

“I’m very excited for the event, it should be a good occasion whatever the outcome.”

Wishing you the very best of luck Aaron!
