The Messenger Shorts

Role: Producer, Motion Designer

The Messenger’s bread and butter in video production was telling short-form stories to an online audience. While there, the entire social video team, including myself, covered every kind of story from the trend of the day to unearthing forgotten or unique topics. Pitching ideas daily about stories I was interested in, I produced videos that racked up millions of views and engagements, whether it was reporting on a gross example of police misconduct or a questionable startup selling luxury glacial ice from the Arctic.
