Community Updates

As I outlined in the About Me section of this portfolio, I like to leverage radical transparency whenever I can in order to help build and maintain a trusting relationship with the communities I serve. It can be incredibly intimidating to stand in front of a global audience and just... be honest with them. Especially when you've messed up, or when there are a lot of brand language considerations that need to be made. But being honest doesn't necessarily have to come at the cost of being brand-safe. You just have to be a little more creative in what language you use and how you use it!

Below are some examples of crisis messaging that I've drafted for community controversies, major upcoming changes, and everything in between.
