Corporate Storytelling

Time Warner Cable

I worked for five years as the Director of Digital Communications at Time Warner Cable, where I developed the company's blog.

I also worked as its managing editor and chief content creator, writing blog posts, infographics, and video that contributed to an overall corporate narrative. I also wrote product launch posts, crisis communications, and more.

The links below will show you some samples of my work. 

Note: Charter Communications purchased Time Warner Cable after I left, and has replaced all prior content with its own blog. The links below will take you to screencaps of the posts in their original form.
