I noticed that the Vulture staff’s excitement for Love Is Blind had created a water cooler culture within our Slack, so I made a dedicated room for staffers to comment as they watched.

I addressed a significant budgetary constraint where our monthly production budget could not accommodate a full, 14-episode recap series for One Day. My solution was to design an innovative, high-impact full-season recap approach centered on the show's core timeline mechanic. This strategy successfully recapped the entire series while preserving the budget and generated massive, long-tail readership through search-optimized content, demonstrating the ability to maximize engagement and acquisition under strict financial limitations.

The feature highlights the strategic importance of keeping a finger on the pulse of Gen-Z’s shifting political journeys, demonstrating a core competency in cultural trend identification and translating niche online behavior into editorial.
