Unfortunately my job at VICE is among those affected by layoffs.

I built and led VICE World News + VICE News socials, TikTok (3.6M) & IG (3M).

In our last month my team and I brought in 160M+ views.

If you want to grow your socials and get into vertical video please reach out.

It’s a good thing, but don’t credit city hall. Their regulations have needlessly limited growth and privileged car owners.
