    uniE603 Year of the Trail (Voiceover)
    As part of an effort to spread awareness about North Carolina's extensive trail system, the State of North Carolina designated 2023 as the Year of the Trail. For their promotional content they hired me as an on-camera talent for the campaign, as well as a VoiceOver artist for the promotional footage. I love North Carolina, and it was really fun being involved in a project close to home and good for the soul! #voiceover #soundtrack #northcarolina #upbeat #positive #outdoors #narration #scriptwriting #screenplay…
    uniE608 Black Men of Google - Harmony (Script writing)
    This is one of my favorite projects to date. The Director of Photography at Creative Theory Agency came to me with a concept for a video for part of Google's Black History Month content series. The ask was simple and up my alley: create a script that uses solo, melody, and harmony as metaphors for the individualized experience of three Black male Google employees. Crafting the narrative alongside the narrator and Chief Marketing Officer of Google Africa, the result was showcased through Google's various platforms, and is one of the agency's marquee portfolio pieces. #Google #explainervideo #filmdirector #copywriter #VoiceOver #scriptwriting #script #screenplay #screenwriter #voiceoverscript #awardwinning #awardseason #blackhistorymonth #diversityequityandinclusion…

    My copywriting agency Hot Mess Creative secured Notarize as a client in 3rd quarter of 2021, and our scope of work included a series of SEO blogs for a B2B audience. This is one example of many B2B blogs we have written for a variety of clients across several industry sectors, including tech, financial services, entertainment, and more.…
    uniE608 For Google, It's You— Jenae Butler's story (Story producer, Copywriting)
    When approached to craft the messaging for a Google hiring campaign for Black employees, I, alongside the Creative Theory Agency team, assessed Google's internal goals and external branding voice in order to arrive at the campaign slogan "For Google, It's You." As a copywriter, my copywriting partner and I were responsible for drafting the internal messaging and manifesto that would guide the entire campaign. As a story producer, I interviewed Google's chosen candidates and noted their commentary for sentiments that reflected the campaign directive. As a copywriter I drafted the copy that appears on Google's microsite for the campaign. Check out the full site here: https://www.twine.net/signin…
    uniE603 "T'Challa" (Chadwick Boseman tribute)
    As a tribute to a personal hero of mine, and as a gift to the children who looked up to him, I wrote, produced, and performed "T'Challa" in honor of the late Chadwick Boseman, released to all streaming platforms on November 7th, 2022. I wrote the song, performed the guitar parts, arranged and produced it alongside my hired co-producer, sang all of the vocal parts, designed the artwork, and distributed the song to all streaming platforms. It was an honor to create something froth heart for a figure who positively influenced so many.…
