I was hired by South Texas Independent School District to produce a bunch of content for their 2019 school year advertising campaign. This included 12 television spots in English, 12 in Spanish, radio spots, photography, and a series of podcasts with faculty, staff, and students. I began work on the project in September 2018. The English language television spots began delivery to the South Texas ISD YouTube channel on November 15.
