One minute reel: Digital Producer — The Stream, UpFront & Explainers

One-minute reel showcasing my work across The Stream, UpFront, and On-Camera Explainers. For each video, I carefully selected soundbites (SOTs), relevant B-roll footage, and background music to craft a compelling narrative. I formatted and optimized videos for different digital platforms, adjusting aspect ratios and length to meet platform-specific requirements. I wrote engaging captions and copy text aligned with the editorial tone, and incorporated branding elements such as logos and motion graphics. Collaborating closely with producers and editorial teams, I ensured messaging consistency and quality. Additionally, I managed upload and publishing schedules to meet deadlines and monitored video analytics.

For two years, I managed UpFront’s Instagram page—selecting key soundbites from episodes, editing videos into vertical format with subtitles, writing captions and hashtags, and designing thumbnails, all in close collaboration with producers and the senior producer. I also partnered with Al Jazeera’s audience engagement team to launch reel collaborations and monitor performance post-publishing. During this time, I helped grow UpFront’s Instagram following from 2K to 60K.
