SUPER DELUXE

Super Deluxe was a multi-platform entertainment company from Turner Broadcasting, producing innovative content for traditional and new media platforms. This short-lived company made a huge impact in the world of online entertainment — pioneering new formats and empowering emerging creatives.

LIVE SUPER DELUXE

Super Deluxe’s groundbreaking innovation in the entertainment world was Live Super Deluxe (nicknamed ‘LSD’). LSD pioneered interactive live programming — allowing viewers to directly affect the results of our streams in real time through voting, polls, comment suggestions and more. The LA Times called LSD “the future of television". I worked on developing special projects directly with the Vice President of Live Programming, talent producing for the streams and coordinating branded projects with the team.

BRANDED CONTENT + PARTNERSHIPS

I worked within the marketing team on branded content and partnerships. I was the primary media planner for branded fielding all RFPs. Additionally, I would develop pitches for these RFPs and work with our strategists to develop our creative decks. I worked with our growth marketing team on a number of partnerships, notably event partnerships with RiotLA and the Ace Hotel. Some selected projects I led are outlined in the link below.
