 As part of our social media and online campaign, I generated digital content that cross-pollinated with the book, creating short-form documentary videos like the below...

This video (above) got picked up by multiple outlets and led to follow-on engagement, like us getting invited to speak at conferences...

A B-29 Story

I met a remarkable fellow who was working as a docent at the Palm Springs Air Museum, and I realized his story was just as compelling as the exhibits.  So I put him on camera, and then created a docu-short honoring him... and the legacy of WWII aviators.  I boosted it strategically, and it quickly got 128,000 views and was picked up in a Smithsonian feature.
