Summary
Experience
- May 2011 - PresentCreative Producer / Barkley
- Apr 2010 - PresentCreative Producer / Entremetier / Tight Salad
- Sept 2010 - PresentPresentation Director / BarkleyI direct presentations... Obviously.
- Mar 2007 - PresentProducer/Editor / GlynnDevinsFor the last four years, I have been carving out my own niche at the agency. This position has afforded me the flexibility to advance my creative skills as a producer and editor while furthering the agency’s video capabilities. I currently manage photo shoots, broadcast production, branded presentations and a wide variety of other projects that require social media knowledge and a creative approach. With the local production needs of our clients, my business travel and developing client relationships has become an integral part in furthering our branding efforts. Being the only in-house editor, I have my sticky fingers on every single piece of video that comes in and goes out of this joint. Anything for use on the web or DVD I accomplish in the office, while directing the larger broadcast spots at production studios. With my proficiency in Adobe CS, I am able to integrate the brand identity seamlessly into any of our digital campaign needs. As the self-appointed A/V nerd, I am also am the go-to person for new business strategies. Whether that involves sexy-ing up a Keynote presentation, or figuring out the best way to showcase a new brand identity, creative problem solving is my forte. Beyond the tasks that I’m responsible for, I am also constantly striving to lead the creative department into the social media realm, one tweet at a time.
- Jan 2006 - PresentExecutive Producer / Scene-Stealers.com"Scene Stealers,” a no-budget, self-produced, labor-of-love movie review website. The site is updated multiple times a week and includes not only print reviews and Top Ten lists, but also on-camera movie reviews and interviews with stars, directors, and rock bands. On the technical side, I shoot and edit all video content for the site, as well as help manage and promote. Promotion is a never-ending job with this project. When I initially started working with this website, it was only generating about 8,000 views a month. Today we average about 8,000 unique visitors a day. As a result, I've become quite the social media dragon-slayer and have cultivated an understanding of how consumers use the Internet now and how they will use it tomorrow, which has allowed me to drive traffic, create buzz and become king of the Internet (more or less).
