I'm fluent in Brands, Influencers, and Entertainment. Hire me to: + Develop amazing branded content like digital series, long form docs, TV/Streaming formats, podcasts, and feature films. I'm basically your in-house development exec from a Hollywood Studio. + Supercharge your influencer strategy. When it comes to top-tier talent from the social web, I know who to use and how to use them. Think of me as your "Influencer Whisperer." + Get your wildest content/activation/partnership innovation ideas off the ground (eye-roll, I know. But true)ABOUT ME:I’m a multi-disciplinary Creative Director / Executive Producer / Content Strategist, with a proven track record for developing award-winning podcasts, scripted and unscripted series, social video, documentary films, live events, and ground-breaking marketing campaigns (with some producing and directing mixed in as well).My career path has been winding and wonderful. I started out as an independent filmmaker (sold my first film to Netflix), then pivoted to the world of online video initially as a producer, then as one of the first YouTube talent managers in the industry (where I worked with the top influencers on the platform to build their audiences and manage their development & production pipelines). I spent a number of years in that capacity, helping to build two of the top multi-channel networks of the day, sitting at the intersection of content, tech, and talent.That work led me down two parallel paths: creative consulting on the ad agency side; and content development for digital and streaming platforms. As a result, I have deep industry relationships across Entertainment, Advertising, and Talent.After leading Creative Development & Partnerships at BBDO NY, I decided to launch YARN, my own branded content consulting company, to help brands and agencies who want to break into the premium branded entertainment space, but don't know where to start.
