      Nov 2013 - Mar 2014
      Producer

      At awarely.com I helped transform the company’s business model from a networking forum to a social media and online learning hub. I oversaw video production for projects highlighting the work of senior executives of small to midsize businesses in the Mid-Atlantic region. I identified and researched clients who would best benefit from our services, and served as point person during pre-production. I worked with all clients to produce story lines that best highlighted mission of their businesses and industry trends and business trends as a whole. I accomplished these tasks on extremely tight deadlines: every two weeks I was charged with identifying and securing eight clients to interview, compiling background research, composing potential story lines for their review, and conducting and shooting their interviews. I managed all other in-studio processes to ensure we were producing high-quality, content-marketing video pieces. Show less
