      Jun 2010 - Jan 2012
      Multi Media Promotion Producer

      Write, produce, and edit daily news topicals, promotables for sweeps stories or other big nights, and PSA’s. As a topical producer I have revolutionized both the look and tone of topicals at KMGH by developing a system to produce them in HD, as well as the use of extremely conversational copy. These changes resulted in KMGH being number one in all key demographics 3 out of 4 Mondays during the May 2011 sweeps period. I am also on the social media committee responsible for developing a comprehensive strategy for the use of social media across all the McGraw-Hill television stations. Show less
