Detroit and Midwest creator partnerships
Detroit and Midwest Creator Work
I’m a Detroit-based content creator making comedy and lifestyle videos about culture, food, technology, identity, and everyday life.
I know the difference between a Detroit detail and a generic Midwest stand-in. For local and regional campaigns, that knowledge affects the concept, location, language, and choices viewers see on screen.
Published case studies
Michigan on Screen
Sheetz needed to introduce a new Michigan store experience. Detroit Opera needed to help new audiences picture a night at the opera.

Introducing a New-to-Michigan Brand
I introduced Sheetz through two comedy Reels and interactive Stories about its made-to-order food. Viewers shared the campaign 892 times, debated their orders, and asked when Sheetz arrived in Michigan.

Opera plots explained for people new to the art form
I appeared in Detroit Opera’s Long Story Short explainers for La traviata, Rinaldo, Così fan tutte, and The Central Park Five. A separate Rinaldo campaign showed the building, lounge, box seats, performance, and my reactions to opening night.

Detroit Knowledge, Full Production
Michigan launches
I can introduce a store, product, service, or location through details that make sense to people who live here. The brief gets a local idea instead of a national concept with a Detroit label added later.
Detroit experiences
I can explain a production for someone new to it and film arts, culture, food, or live events as something a viewer could imagine doing. The plot, location, arrival, atmosphere, and practical experience can each help somebody decide to go.
Detroit and the Wider Midwest
Detroit is part of the Midwest, and one Midwestern city cannot stand in for every other one. I can help separate what belongs to Detroit from what can travel across Michigan or the wider region.
Full creator production
I can develop the concept, write, perform, film on location, edit, publish, engage with the audience, and report the campaign results.
My point of view
The Detroit Details Have to Be Right
A Detroit skyline can establish a location. It cannot decide whether the premise, language, and details make sense to somebody who lives here.
I wrote about the questions brands should ask when hiring a local creator, including how Detroit fits inside the wider Midwest and why a brief should name the job it expects the creator to do.
