Wild at Home Initiative

Crisis-Response Strategy & Multi-Channel Audience Growth

Spearheaded the Wild at Home initiative, a rapid-response pivot launched during the COVID-19 pandemic to meet the global demand for comfort-viewing. By syncing Nat Geo WILD’s 10th Anniversary with a 'Baby Animal' programming blitz, I architected a seamless linear-to-digital bridge that drove record-breaking ratings and transformed the network into a premier digital sanctuary for families.

Key Strategic Pillars

The "Healing Power of Nature" Strategy

Architected a month-long "Around the World" programming stunt specifically for the Wild at Home initiative. I dedicated each week of April to a different continent, providing home-bound audiences with a sense of global discovery and escapism through visually stunning blue-chip natural history.

10th Anniversary & Earth Day Synergy

Orchestrated a high-impact synergy between the network’s 10-year milestone and the Earth Day 50th Anniversary. I led the rollout of the flagship global event Born Wild: The Next Generation, utilizing a "Baby Animal" programming blitz and themed marathons to capture the record surge in family co-viewing.

Agile Digital Synergy

Synchronized linear broadcasts with the #WildAtHome social campaign, ensuring content was accessible across all devices to maximize reach and brand resonance for home-bound audiences during the global lockdown.
