#31DaysOf
JanetJackson
Ahead of Janet Jackson’s 2015 comeback album Unbreakable, SoulBounce Editor-in-Chief Kimberly Hines and I launched the month-long campaign #31DaysOfJanetJackson.
I led the project’s creative direction from start to finish, commissioning guest contributors, artists, and writers. The campaign gained widespread fan engagement and support from longtime producer Jimmy Jam, featuring a 30-day singles countdown, a curated Spotify playlist, retrospective essays, video rankings, producer breakdowns, and two commissioned cover songs.
This Week In SoulBounce
After retiring the long-running “Morning Soul” news feature at SoulBounce, we realized that we still needed a way to keep our readers abreast of everything going on in the world of music. I came up with a weekly collection of the biggest news stories which we decided to call “This Week In SoulBounce.” TWISB, as we affectionately called it, featured brief recaps of news that was of interest to our readers told with a touch of humor (and occasionally shade) that kept the SoulBounce audience informed and entertained on a weekly basis.
