“Celebs Have Issues”
I was the lead copy writer for the viral sketch series Celebs Have Issues, which paired celebrities with organizations of their choice to raise awareness about important issues.
One epic example is Kristen Bell starring in our sketch Pinksourcing, which highlighted workplace income inequality in partnership with I Am That Girl. The video garnered over 20 million views. Overall, the series raised significant funds for great causes and amassed over 50 million views.
