SF SKETCHFEST
San Francisco's premiere 3 week long comedy festival.
writing for lols 🤣
Using InCopy and InDesign, I edited hundreds of sketch comedy descriptions in SF Sketchfest's fifty-page program distributed to over two hundred SFSK shows. I wrote and edited copy for print and digital assets to help spread the buzz on festival events and exclusive after-parties for the talent and crew. I also ran their social accounts, promoting the festival and individual events on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Posters designed by Craig Fowler.
