BEATING THE ALGORITHM
Case Study
CAPITAL SOIREE at Jewel Osco
Task:
Film videos during Capital Soiree's performance inside a Jewel Osco that give off a "wtf is going on" vibe for viral potential on Instagram and TikTok.
Note: No money was used to boost these videos' performance.
Strategy:
1. Shoot everything on iPhone.
2. POV-style videos only.
3. Little to no editing. Make everything appear real.
4. Simple text-on-screen.
5. Highlight a different song per clip.

ABOUT
ME
I am a storyteller and digital media-focused creative based in Chicago, Illinois. My job is to not only provide a new and interesting perspective, but also capture key moments that create everlasting memories for my clients.
There's no better feeling than capturing "the photo" or creating "the edit" that I believe my clients will be excited about. This excitement is what motivates me to continue to be diverse amongst others in my field of business. Personally, there isn't a day I don't think about how can I approach something differently in order to achieve the 'wow' factor.
One of the most asked questions creative entrepreneurs ask themselves daily is "what content will I create today?" Alongside this, I ask myself an additional question: "what memories will I capture today?"
This is what I always strive to do with my clients:
capture memories and create the content you deserve.
