Video & Social Media Professional
Greater Philadelphia Area
I am the Senior Community Manager and company blogger at XLNTads.com, a small Internet-based start-up connecting major brands (Nestle, Unilever, Anheuser-Busch, New Line Cinema for example) with independent video creators. We're in early phase of business development so I am active in many areas, from UI development to social media strategy.
My production company, Poverty Jet Set Productions, is an award-winning video production and social media company. We created one of the first fully-sponsored web series in Philadelphia, The Illadates Show on uwishunu.com which won a 2008 Bronze Anvil Award from the Public Relations Society of America. We create and consult companies on cutting-edge, web-based new media: video podcasts, blogs, music videos, live music performance videos and documentaries.
I have several side projects online: my music blog yvynyl.tumblr.com - my personal blog thepovertyjetset.com - my Twitter.com/povertyjetset
