    Content Strategy and Production for a Virtual Course

    For Pastor O’s content project, I led the strategy and creative direction for a full content day designed to promote his marriage course, Different by Design. This included clarifying his positioning as a faith-led marriage thought leader, developing content pillars, shaping key messaging, identifying high-impact video topics and creating social-first hooks that could translate his teachings into clear, engaging short-form content.

    I also managed the execution plan for the shoot, including the filming schedule, video structure, on-screen text options, captions and calls to action. The aim was to create a strong bank of Instagram and YouTube content that felt authoritative, practical and emotionally resonant, while helping his audience connect with the course in a clear and compelling way.
