Turning cybersecurity complexity into content people wanted to watch.
Role: Creative Media Manager
[ PROJECT IMAGE ]
Cofense makes phishing detection and response software used by thousands of enterprise security teams worldwide. The challenge wasn't the product — it was making dense, technical cybersecurity concepts feel urgent, relevant, and watchable to an audience that had seen every scare tactic in the book.

THE CHALLENGE
Cybersecurity content has a reputation problem. It's either too technical for a general audience or too vague to be useful. Cofense needed a content engine that could speak credibly to CISOs and security analysts while still performing on social and YouTube — two channels where attention is earned in the first three seconds.
THE APPROACH
I built a content system anchored in real threat intelligence. Instead of generic "stay safe online" messaging, every piece of content was tied to an actual phishing campaign, a real attacker technique, or a documented breach pattern. Scripts were written to be technically accurate but narratively driven — the same way a documentary treats a complex subject.
WHAT I MADE
A full-scale multimedia content operation: scripted explainer videos, campaign series, social cut-downs, threat intelligence reports turned into shareable visual content, and a YouTube channel strategy that treated subscribers as an audience worth respecting, not just a metric to grow.
THE RESULT
1.6M+ campaign video views. 50% YouTube subscriber growth. Content that security professionals actually shared with their teams — which, in a category where trust is everything, is the real win.
