New York Comic Con - Live Stage/NBCUNIVERSAL

 

I solely conceived, programmed, designed, and executive produced the ReedPop Live Stages, which was a major feature on the show floor featuring interviews with current television and movie stars, the hottest comic book writers and artists, toy brands, video game publishers, and music icons like Common and DMC. New York Comic Con was the biggest activation, but I also traveled the Live Stage to other shows like C2E2 in Chicago and Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle. The all-day programming consisted of 15-minute and 30-minute interviews, and was livestreamed with a large studio audience, multiple cameras, and a full broadcast-quality control room (each year I grew the program exponentially). All told I produced over 1,000 individual segments generating over 50 million views.

The Live Stages (which comprised nearly 7,000 square feet of space) were funded and sponsored by a number of brands, including SYFY, Twitch, Fandom, Cheerios, Namco, Audible, and Courtyard by Marriott. For each show I worked directly with studio partners to procure A-list talent, and the stage featured casts from Outlander, Riverdale, Game of Thrones, Kingsmen, The Boys, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Impractical Jokers, For All Mankind, The Expanse, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, The Orville, Daredevil, Manifest, Batwoman, Big Mouth, American Gods, Blindspot, Big Mouth, She-Ra, The Haunting of Hill House, Family Guy, Dark Phoenix, Marvel’s Runaways, Good Omens, and Critical Role, among many others.

The content aired across Twitch, YouTube, and SYFY’s linear channel, making it the largest livestream production for any pop culture consumer event.
