A talented pupil from Albyn School was shortlisted for a prestigious Best Young Content Creator Award at the Football Content Awards 2024.
Aaron, an S3 pupil, 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.
He said: “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 pitch-side and directly into a supporters seat.
Aaron’s channel has grown steadily over the past few years with his followers reaching nearly 6,500 in recent days.
He continued: “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 took place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on November 21, where Aaron was up against other talented young creators from across the country.
Despite not picking up the award this year, Aaron has promised his followers that his content will be “bigger and better than ever".
Being nominated is a testament to his hard work, determination, and unique voice in the football community, proving age is no barrier to making an impact.
The whole school community is incredibly proud and can’t wait to see what’s next for Aaron.
