B-BOY ROYALE 3

JUNIOR PRODUCER

B-BOY ROYALE 3 (2016)

As a Junior Producer in June 2016, I helped with mutiple aspects of B-Boy Royale 3's event execution. During the promotional stages, I worked closely with the production lead to execute the event's run-of-show, final script, performer and guest lists. I was also responsible for maintaining communications with the McDonald's creative teams for their feedback and legal teams for asset approvals. Furthermore, I overlooked the design concepts, production, and execution of various creative and production elements such as signage, step-and-repeat, and merchandise. On the day of the event, my job was to hire and coordinate a media team for photo and video coverage of the event.
