100MM+ Views | Videographer, Editor, & Senior Social Media Content Creator at The Sasha Group, a Gary Vaynerchuk Company | Vanderbilt University Alum
Today marks 2 years at The Sasha Group (a Gary Vaynerchuk company)! I'm thrilled to share that I was recently promoted to the role of Senior Creator. During these past two years, my work has received well over 95 million views, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of likes, tens of thousands of comments, and many thousands of shares. Here's a quick recap of what I've been up to: Year 1 - I was hired to lead creative execution for our personal branding department, including strategizing, concepting, filming, and editing video content to build the personal brands of founders and CEOs across the United States. Simultaneously, I was: (1) Running The Sasha Group’s owned social media accounts on all platforms and inaugurating our “Life of Work” content series where I had the pleasure of sharing “the hearts and brains” behind the work at VaynerX from dozens and dozens of exceptional individuals including James Orsini, JMo, Mike Boyd, and Jesse Hagen. (2) Creating the content for our paid-membership marketing education community which taught hundreds of small-business founders how to best implement digital marketing in their businesses. (3) Co-running our Sasha Group-owned podcast with Julia Balick where we filmed interviews with inspirational business leaders to uncover the secrets of how they built their incredible businesses, featuring the founders of Bluestone Lane, MUSH, and RSE Ventures, among many others. (4) Filming and also guest speaking at our 4Ds program (high-level business education for successful business owners) featuring VaynerX executives and Gary, where I specialized in sharing practical AI growth-marketing workflows with our guests. Year 2 - Then with the help of James Orsini, Jared Nixon, Kyle Arango, and many others, I moved over to the brand side of our agency (team potato ftw). For the past year, I've been responsible for ideating thousands of social media ad ideas and then developing and executing many hundreds of those ideas (for both organic and paid media performance use) for dozens of incredible brands, ranging from household name-brands to rapidly innovating challengers. I’ve also had the pleasure of being a part of a few successful new business pitches and larger-scale brand-defining campaigns. I've been able to work on a wide variety of projects in many verticals including private equity, real estate investment, skincare, online education, electric automotive, spirits, men's grooming, women's care, chocolate, health & wellness, food, lending, and plenty more. I am so excited to continue to break through culture and move the needle for my clients and brands alongside my talented team here at Sasha! I really don't want to send 50+ people notifications for this post so I won't be tagging everyone, but a HUGE shoutout to my close collaborators and everyone who has supported me throughout this journey so far at Sasha and VX including all my fellow Creators, creatives, and everybody else, you know who you are :)
