My time with The.Outsidr was spent raising his content awareness both on YouTube and Spotify by both filming and editing a music video, while also creating a Spotify Marketing Campaign.During the filming of the music video, San Diego Nights (unreleased), I was in charge of manning the camera. We used a BlackMagic Cinema Camera 2.5k along with low aperture Rokinon Cine Primes in an effort to shoot most of the video at night.After the shoot I was also in charge of piecing the video together using the Adobe Editing Suite. Programs such as Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, and Audition were all used in post production. As we worked on the video, we also wanted to raise his awareness using some of the music he had already released. So we planned a professional photoshoot where the goal was to create a looping gif he could use in Spotify.We also worked on creating a Spotify Marketing Campaign using designs and images brought together using the online application Canvas. Overall, we were able to raise content awareness significantly by 35% with more growth for every new song released.

Single-handedly completely revamped a website from top to bottom. This includes re-photographing products and redesigning the overall layout keeping it easy to traverse while bringing a more modern look to the whole site. I also reduced overall monthly website and domain costs by 90% by moving away from an out-of-date host and keeping things simple so that even after the contract is finished, the site can be edited by just about anyone with basic computer skills. No coding skills necessary.
