Got Story Ideas?

I’ve built my career on capturing short attention spans.

I run on the assumption that my audience is always ready to change the channel or passively scroll through their social feed, unless I give them a reason to “stay tuned.”

Currently, I create editorial content that’s enticing, informative, and brand-driven. I’m an unabashed social media enthusiast who will always be passionate about TV and video.

My local and national experience behind and in front of the camera, has given me an appreciation for what connects us: community, diversity, tolerance & family. I’m a sucker for witty writing, visual storytelling, creative marketing solutions and strong brand identification.

The immediacy of social & traditional media makes me a pro at multi-tasking and meeting deadlines under pressure. I thrive in fast-paced environments like the ABC7 Newsroom and work extremely well with others whether on assignment or as a representative of my employer at community sponsored events.

I believe that social empowers brands to connect on a human level. I’m constantly discovering new ways that social tools build communities, grow business, and keep life interesting. Email or tweet me @nicksmithnews
