The Box

Walmart's 'The Box' Oscars Campaign Social Strategy (February 2018)

 It was Walmart’s second year sponsoring the Oscars, and our mission was to amplify conversation about ‘The Box’ campaign, (featuring films created by female directors Melissa McCarthy,  Dee Rees & Nancy Meyers) with our social content leading up to the night-of and during the show. Content-wise, I built the strategy by working with our agency to prepare by outlining asset needs, when to release them on the night-of, and dynamically launching the first ‘film’ via Facebook Live to match the broadcast on the night of the Oscars.

EXPERT IN...

Establishing a Brand's voice, aesthetic and desired target audience with clear guidelines an entire team can understand and leverage.

Connecting and leading Creative, Design, Copy, Marketing and appropriate teams cross-functionally. 

Utilizing what's trending to drive cultural relevancy for brands. 

Creating process and workflows for content teams. Translation: How do teams work together with cross-functional counterparts to get stuff done, create assets, and maximize impact? 

Optimizing videos, photos, written content and more in a way that utilizes the strengths of each media platform. 


Appealing to audiences who appreciate when brands are authentic and transparent.

LOVER OF...

Wandering, hiking and swimming in faraway places. I'm on a mission to see it all. (Like Glenwood Springs, CO.👆)

Fitness and wellness - both physical and mental. I'm a self-proclaimed health nut who hasn't met a new workout class she hasn't enjoyed trying. (OK, maybe not that 2-hour hot yoga session way back when.)

Entertainment, music and culture news. After spending years at iHeartRadio, my brain goes straight to the behind the scenes of album releases, live shows, interviews & more. 

Listening to podcasts that will either teach me something or make me laugh throughout the day.


Anything delicious, whether it's sweet or savory. Equally excited about trying a Paleo chicken recipe as I am about a glazed cinnamon donut. (Okay, fine. Maybe the donut wins by a hair.)
