“They say it takes a village.” That was the inspiration behind the launch of The Moms Society, a platform designed to support and connect moms as they tackle the hardest job in the world.

I was proud to be part of the team rebranding and redesigning the content strategy to promote the new online community. I worked closely with the founder and her executive team to create a voice for the brand that validated the importance of “momming” while also acknowledging the humor needed to get through it each day.

Each year, Gartner expounds on the top technology trends that will drive business impact in the near future. To expand our audience beyond our key target of tech executives, we created a new video series designed to explain and demystify several trends in language accessible to a broader group of users.

As the writer, it was my job to create a script that felt engaging, informative, and concise. Getting the opportunity to host the first episode was a bonus.

At Yext, I was challenged with telling a customer support center story in a new way that felt compelling and engaging for the holiday season. So I used the classic meter of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” to craft a B2B message that was filled with magic instead of jargon.

I was thrilled to be part of the creative team that brought this Shorty Award-winning concept to life.

This nostalgia-filled campaign imagined a high school reunion for a class of tech products and services (cell phone, the internet, etc.) we all know and love as they reflect on how far they’ve come since 1999. Except for keyword search who incredibly has not evolved one minute since graduation, even though it continues to be used by businesses everywhere.

This clever, humorous take on technology advancement supported Yext’s brand messaging to better understand why AI search is a step into the future and created a consistent campaign through various platforms, from video to digital to social.

How do you help your workforce remember all the great aspects of working on site WITHOUT applying the pressure of returning to a 5-day IRL schedule?

I wrote the script for this internal video that focused on motivating, not threatening. Remaining upbeat, confident, and helpful, we took the viewers down memory lane to remind them of the value of heading into the office – ONCE IN A WHILE.

Looking into the future to hear how technology will enhance your business and drive it forward is exciting. Unless the message you’re receiving is so complicated by jargon and gibberish that you can’t even understand it, much less apply it.

I wrote the script for Gartner’s 2023 Top Tech Trends video with a focus on comprehensible and digestible language. Just as insightful, and a lot more clear.

They said it couldn’t be done - especially during a pandemic - so I was honored and excited to be part of the writing team that brought “Up Early Tonight” – a late-night-style comedy show, for moms, by moms – to Hulu in 2020.

I’ve also written and co-written video scripts for the leading media company for parents, partnering with amazing brands like Old Spice, Charles Schwab, and Eggo to bring humor and relatability to branded campaigns.

Plus, getting the opportunity to showcase my humor and creativity in front of the screen for an Old Spice branded content campaign gave me a unique perspective into advertising script writing that strengthens my work across all kinds of media.

Client KPIs? Check. Scary Mommy’s authentic and unique voice? Check. Check. I created the pitches that led to this creative work.

Working with 3rd party brands requires translating client goals and KPIs and weaving their messages into the smart, sassy voice of Scary Mommy or the laid back personality of The Dad brand.
