I've spent the last 8 years scripting, shooting, and editing content for social media (both organic and paid). In that time, my work has received more than 100 million impressions across social media platforms and supported multiple 7 figures of ad spend for a number of well-recognized brands, including Mr. Beast, The NFL, Salvation Army, The NBA, The Hoop Bus, Aubrey Marcus, Breathwrk, Nicole Arbor, and TopCourt. Luckily, this wide range of clientele has given me a clear sense of how to envision and produce thumb-stopping content for use on TikTok and Instagram - videos that capture attention and don't lose that attention quickly. A blend of sound choice, text overlays, and the right shot selection is the key to my secret sauce. (My tool of choice is the Adobe Creative Suite - Premiere Pro, Audition, After Effects, Lightroom, Photoshop.)I'm pretty plug & play - depending on the structure & distribution of your current team. I can hit the ground running and start producing content pretty quickly. I would love to chat more!
