Working to create genuine excitement in our community
Upon receiving an invitation to join the mayoral campaign of Barth Cotner, the campaign manager directed the creation of video advertisements that spoke directly to the dynamic demographics found in the City of Reynoldsburg.

In addition to creating video content for the campaign, I also served as a temporary speech writer and communications consultant; helping Barth and his campaign manager focus their messaging. This work led to my involement in several other political campaigns during the same 2016 election cycle.
