Establishment for the Greater Good (EGG) | Co-Creator & Producer
EGG was an internal initiative at Psyop, Inc. meant to accomplish 3 goals:

• Offer a unique summer internship program to young, untested talent to work directly with Psyop’s senior artists.
• Highlight causes and charities we love and that otherwise would not have marketing budgets for the work Psyop does.
• Act as an opportunity for us to craft something super cool - internally.

As Co-creator & producer, I helped initiate and oversee the program’s overall strategy, was in charge of cause and charity research and helped shape the creative direction, story and visual look of all projects and related materials (PR efforts and online presence.) I also co-led the recruitment process for applicants.
