Past Work
Highlights from our work.
Faire's Small World Video Series
In 2023, we hit the jackpot partnering with the Faire social team to kick off a series that celebrates the incredible merchants and makers of Faire. In our inaugural episode, we meet Guoda from OVO Things Candles in Lithuania and Jen from Shop Senti in Edina, Minnesota. These two have been working together across the globe for over three years and have never met in person—talk about a long-distance friendship that puts all our Zoom calls to shame! Join us as we dive into their story, complete with candle-making wisdom and possibly some awkward virtual high-fives. And don’t worry, we’re already cooking up the 2024 series—because who doesn’t love more globetrotting friendships?
Faire, Building Blocks Series
For our second series with Faire, we got to tag along with CEO Max Rhodes on a retail road trip, visiting the incredible shops and brands within the Faire ecosystem. Picture a CEO swapping spreadsheets for shopping bags! Unlikely Media stepped up as both the in-house producer and production powerhouse, gathering an all-star cast of talent to film and edit these unforgettable stories. It was part documentary, part adventure, and 100% awesome!
Airbnb Plus, Host Stories Series
From 2018 to 2020, we dove into a series that showcased the rockstar hosts of the Airbnb Plus community—the ones who make you want to redecorate *immediately* after a visit.
With Victoria’s documentary and TV wizardry combined with the creative prowess of the Airbnb team, we tracked down the most incredible hosts and told their stories in every format imaginable. Let’s just say we didn’t just shine a light on their hospitality and design talents—we practically rolled out the red carpet!
Mill Brand Launch
In 2022 and 2023, we had the pleasure—and, let’s be honest, the adrenaline rush—of helping a climate-focused hardware start-up go from “What’s a brand?” to a full-blown launch in just 5 months! Victoria was the one-person creative production machine, setting up systems, vendors, and processes faster than you can say “climate innovation.” And come January 2023, we hit launch—cue confetti!
We created a rock-solid asset library, a dream team of vendors, and a full system for pulling off everything from scratch, from illustrations to video. It’s safe to say we didn’t just launch a brand; we launched a legacy!
.
Assets included: Illustration, Lifestyle Photography, Studio and Product Photography, 3D Renders, and of course video.
Calm: Daily Move
In 2021 Victoria helped launch and oversee the structure for Calm's first foray into daily video. Calm has now produced over 158 episodes of mindful movement for the app with topics ranging from dealing with stress, gratitude and kids movements.
Bose Superbowl, Fantracks
Working with the great people at MAS: Music & Strategy, I was the Supervising Producer on the production side, managing the music team and the video team to make this amazing project came to life. In 5 weeks we had created over 20 videos and 24 original pieces of music. On the video side we worked with Bindery to pull off this great feat.
We collaborated with a stellar team at 360i and really proved out that Bose is about great sound, no matter what genre of music.
