Content & audience strategist · New York

Good content does not distribute itself. I build what happens next.

I shape the angle, write the copy, and run the publishing plan across channels and partners. At Big Think, that work spans newsletters, editorial standards, and national campaigns for Stand Together.

Freethink and partner creative teams produced the films. I handled the packaging, publishing plan, partner coordination, and analysis shown here.

Selected work

No copy before an approved angle.

Format follows the partner’s distribution potential, not habit.

Paraphrased from the living standards I wrote

Editorial workflow · 2024–2026

A publishing workflow the team could repeat.

I co-designed an article-to-social process with a two-business-day publishing target and wrote its living standards. About 30 articles ran through the workflow, with format decisions, publishing responsibilities, and partner handoffs defined.

Share of program views

98.1%

Across four NFL-posted stories

13 tracked records · 14.1M organic views

Campaign publishing · NFL · 2025

Four NFL-posted stories accounted for 98.1% of organic views.

I ran the campaign publishing plan and analyzed how views were distributed across the 14.1M-view organic program. The concentration informed my recommendation to consider league and team interest earlier in planning.

Observed issue result; no controlled test

Newsletter packaging

A different angle on mentorship.

I framed the lead story around the reader’s stake in the relationship. The November 18, 2025 issue recorded a 2.7% click rate against a 1.3% twelve-week average; the comparison did not isolate the effect of the copy.

Format strategy · AI × music

A music campaign with a format and a fallback.

I led the organic campaign strategy, planned three narrative routes, and developed a kinetic-text alternative while music rights were unresolved. The mixed-media pilot published; design and production were team work.

What I do

01

Make the package usable

A finished film or article still needs a headline, platform copy, links, tags, and a format that another account can publish without fixing first.

02

Keep the handoffs visible

I track what is approved, what is live, who has accepted a collaboration, and where a useful follow-up is still possible.

03

Read what happened

After publication, I look past the total, compare the results across stories and channels, and use the pattern to inform the next plan.
