The Power of Stories: Hearst Bay Area Sizzle Reel Video
-
For our first (and largest) video project of 2021, my team and I worked to create something that ties Hearst Bay Area's award-winning journalism and popular consumer news brands together with our advertising capabilities.

My vision was to feature this video on the Hearst Bay Area homepage as a way to explain the unique relationship our consumer brand audiences have with our advertising partners and to showcase the value that Hearst Bay Area is able to deliver to our advertisers by aligning their brand with the stories the Bay Area cares most about.
After scoping the project, I engaged Levitate (a video agency) to work with me on the production components. My team helped me source visuals from both The Chronicle and SFGATE archives as well as offering feedback on the script. We partnered with the Editors in Chief at both newsrooms (Emilio Garcia-Ruiz and Grant Marek) as well as our VP of Marketing (Sarah Morse) to record testimonials that represented the goals and vision of each brand under the Hearst By Area umbrella.
Then, I provided the video agency with a storyboard detailing which visual components to highlight during each stage of the video and my teammate Bella recorded the voice-over once the script was finalized. We passed these assets to the Levitate production team and after a few iterations, we had a comnpleted product that now lives on at HearstBayArea.com.

3rd Place in the Unbounce Copywriting Contest

I entered a copywriting contest for Unbounce.com and received third place for my efforts. I was tasked with writing the sales copy for a product known as "DJ Rumba" on a dedicated landing page that had been pre-designed for me.
My goal was to write fun and fab copy for an audience of millennials to entice them to sign-up for an email waiting list.
