Coming from a documentary film background, I recognized the growing demand for online videos in advertising. As a result, I built the role as JWT Canada’s Content Director. I delivered clients original written and creative material including video and photography. I oversaw each aspect of the content development from conceptualization to the final sound mixing and would often direct, film, and edit. By working closely with the creative, social media, and production teams I was able to quickly produce profitable and relevant communications that resonated with the target audiences. Clients I've worked with include:Grand Marnier US, Tim Hortons, Air Canada, HSBC, Mazda Canada, University of Toronto, Canada Bread, Wal-Mart Canada

As the Creative Coordinator/Curator, I supported the Chief Creative Officer and the creative department. I was also responsible for fusing the creative team with the latest and greatest digital content through weekly blogging and interactive events.

I film and edit promotional videos and photo essays for various clients on tight deadlines. My work has appeared on various reputable websites such as The Huffington Post, TIFF, and PEN Canada.Clients Include: TIFF, PEN Canada, the DOC Institute, Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival, TINARS, Treehouse Group.See my videos on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/meredithwright

This Is Not a Reading Series (TINARS) offers a ground-breaking theatrical dimension to the appreciation of fine writing. Employing music, comedy, psychodrama, dance, multimedia performance, lectures, dialogue—everything but reading—TINARS investigates the creative process behind literary works. I managed all the TINARS social media platforms and developed new and creative approaches to promoting the organization's launches. In addition, I assisted with the planning and technical execution of each event.

I provided first-year undergraduate students in the Faculty of Community Service with weekly writing support by running writing-specific workshops and offering one on one guidance to improve the writing proficiency. I was nominated for a Teaching Assistant award by the members of the faculty I assisted.
