Onecountry
Director of Video Strategy
My primary role at One Country was to both create video content and provide strategy on how to monetize video online. My responsibilities included shooting living events with popular country artists, concepting new video ideas and executing them. Responsibilities also included location scouting, shooting, editing and motion graphic work to support. I also served in a graphic design capacity working on projects that included keynote decks, a style guide and a media kit on an as-needed basis.
Software used included Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, Apple Motion, Adobe Indesign and Adobe Illustrator.
Reason for short time on staff was due to the overall cost of video production and the amount of time investment it would take to achieve building up the audience to create the ad revenue the company had hoped to make. The leadership felt that the cost was worth the overall time investment.
