PORTFOLIO
Social Media Videos
I shoot, produce, and edit social media videos for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube, layering in audio, text, and music to capture the most engagement while telling impactful stories and spotlighting local businesses.
For this NYC Racquet Sports video, my business partner Marques Jackson and I covered an influencer event at the NYC Racquet Sports flagship location. We interviewed attendees, and captured the excitement of Karue Sell and the U.S. Open. The video has an organic reach of over 30K, and generated more than 50 new followers for the racquet store across platforms.
Writing: Articles and Blogs
Words have the power to capture attention, but strategic copy has the power to hold it. My background spans journalism, luxury travel, and premium wellness lifestyle publications. I specialize in translating brand stories into high-performance digital content.
My approach merges editorial integrity with deep SEO architecture. As proof of concept, I founded and scaled the digital platform Runstreet.com, engineering its organic growth to over 150,000 monthly visitors. Whether writing compelling feature articles, designing search-optimized blog ecosystems, or crafting brand messaging, I build high-traffic digital assets that turn casual readers into loyal, long-term clients.

Two Bags and A Dream
By Marnie Kunz On Medium
When my dog died, I knew it was time to go. I’d been living in limbo for over a year, staying with family in St. Louis while freelance writing, caring for my dog, and also helping with my almost 100-year-old grandma. My grandma passed. I was dealing with difficult living situations, tiptoing around family members suffering from mental illness. I felt gripped by old demons, and slid back into drinking. I went through a breakup, lost my car, and my dog, despite all the surgeries and treatments, died. I was left with a heap of vet bills and was working part-time for a job that didn’t pay. Just when it didn’t seem like it could get any worse, I lost my freelance writing job.
Things were bleak. I felt like a walking country song. Of all the genres, I never got into country music. It was time to move. NYC was calling.
