FROM THE VAULT

Disney Descendants Franchise Strategy
Disney Channel (2015)

I lead the charge to identify new audiences outside the core (8-12 year old girls,) then built a transmedia franchise plan to drive buzz, leading up to the premiere of the first Descendant original movie. I encouraged Disney Channel to embrace fan creation platforms like Wattpad, managed the creation of a franchise story bible and collaborated on all social content.

Cable Network Launch
Robert Rodriguez's El Rey Network (2013-2014)

ERN challenged us to develop a launch campaign and long-term content strategy prior to debut. I wrote the network's internal manifesto and helped determine their content strategy across on-channel, social, partners, influencers and sponsors. I also managed the brand’s voice on social channels for the first year of the network’s existence.

Goldfish Kids Web and Cross Platform Game Launch
Pepperidge Farm (2012)

I managed the creative development of a mobile-friendly site experience and half-dozen web games for kids. The brain of the site and its games was a smart, recommendation platform inspired by mobile game funnel optimization and user retention techniques. The average site visit jumped 33% in length. I also conceptualized and wrote the brand’s first iOS game, the well-reviewed Operation: Get Gilbert, available on iPad and Android.

Dead Space Franchise Launch
EA (2010)

I wrote and developed a nine-chapter Myst-like horror game to introduce the Dead Space storyworld and stress the studio’s commitment to narrative excellence. This award-winning web experience, called No Known Survivors, blended 3D environments with 2D illustration, video and audio narrative.

Eragon: Vroengard Academy
Random House (2010)

I worked directly with author bestselling Chris Paolini and his fan community to design a competitive, team-based web game that spanned two months and pitted fans against one another to solve visual, music and real world puzzles. Challenges rolled out weekly, creating fresh PR and driving shares, awareness, email acquisitions and pre-sales.The web experience acquired 500,000 players. I later developed a sequel to the game for Facebook, called Inheritance Quest to promote the fourth book in the Eragon series.
