I managed, grew, and introduced new platforms for SAVEUR’s social mediapresence after several years of abandonment. I produced, from scratch, video developments for Instagram Reels with an eye on eventual TikTok expansion. In addition, I covered live events, managed equipment requests, talent coordination, and on-the-ground direction for video with a focus on working with restaurants and restaurant workers. Apart from social media work, I also wrote and reported for the site with long-form essays and interviews, developed and tested recipes, and researched new editorial ideas and up-and-coming restaurants.

I joined Slate’s audience development team at a key time: right before the Covid-19 lockdowns. I quickly pivoted from my initial role of social media management and planning to providing expertise on switching our events to virtually-hosted ones, working closely with our Live Events team to provide knowledge on Facebook Live, YouTube broadcasts, and Periscope. Additionally, I launched video initiatives for podcasts and diversified content flow on social channels, helping deliver bigger audiences to both existing podcasts and new launches—including Slate’s flagship podcast series, Slow Burn.

As the editor in charge of Kotaku's presence on social platforms, I quickly established a voice that fit with our brand identity - smart, quick-witted with a smattering of tomfoolery.I recognized that branching out with different content types was necessary in a social landscape that continues to quickly turn against publishers. I sharply increased the number of image and video posts on our social channels, with a commensurate increase in engagement for those posts. I began reaching out to our users directly with status updates and article content curated directly for social media, and saw strong returns in how our users interacted with Kotaku, the social media persona - not the video game website.Using my proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, I discovered new, creative ways to package our articles to draw in old and new audiences on social, and create brand-new series and content created specifically for these platforms.

When GIPHY started their International initiative, I was hired as one of their first contract editors to lead the expansion. I led the development of a brand-new international presence for the world's top GIF-sharing content platform. I created and curated content, keeping in mind user demands and predicting audience expectations. Focusing on arts and pop culture, I developed a short- and long-term growth strategy for the brand. I collaborated with GIPHY's editorial, social and studios team to both nurture content partnerships with other creators, and start creating our own in-house GIFs.

I was brought onboard to help the Brooklyn Daily Eagle overhaul their presence on social platforms on Facebook and Twitter, as well as exploring possibilities on other channels. I led the charge to start producing and executing original social content, diversifying our social feeds with videos and imagery.I executed analytics research for the publisher and the newsroom, helping the team understand Facebook Insights and Twitter Analytics by presenting my own insights into the raw numbers and giving recommendations on how to increase their social profile in the future.

I was given the reins for iDigitalTimes' (now Player.One) social accounts as their first Social Media Editor. I wrote and executed social strategy from the ground up, focusing on relevant, authentic content to drive conversation, building communities through creating our unique social voice, and an all-in effort on video.Using Facebook Live and social video as a pivotal tool, I was able to turn around social engagement on our channels, with engagement on Facebook rising over 100% during a half-year period. I delved deeply into analytics, using social content management programs such as Sprinklr to determine what kinds of content was working and what wasn't.
