PODCAST HOSTing

Behind & Beyond: Season 3

Season 3 of Behind & Beyond dives deeper into our sermon series on the book of Esther. I kept our branding consistent with our refreshed background and editing style, featuring the new intro style segment to give viewers a brief overview of what to expect.

For marketing, I’ve continued to cut and produce short video segments to promote on Instagram and YouTube shorts. Utilizing pithy titles and engaging copy has yielded growth in our channel’s online presence from 6k to 20k.

Behind & Beyond: Season 2 Rebrand

After a successful Season 1 of Behind & Beyond, I creative directed a new vision for the podcast with a cleaner, more modern look and casual style. I altered the editing format to include a beginning intro from myself giving an overview of the episode to come. This change allows for the podcast to flow more like an easy conversation, thus creating a more enjoyable experience for the listener.

For social media marketing, I revamped our Instagram Reels design with custom covers that feature an enticing title and thumbnail to grow engagement.

Behind & Beyond: Season 1

During my time as Creative Communications Assistant Director, I was asked to host, produce, and creative direct a new podcast series, Behind & Beyond. Each week, I prepped interview questions for that week’s guests to discuss the sermon they taught. I lead set design aesthetics, branding concepts, and all social media marketing and implementation to grow our viewership across all digital channels.
