I don& #39;t usually do this but you& #39;re going to have to indulge me because I am so damn proud of the work that the Bernie digital/video/ads team did. They never ask for recognition but they deserve enormous credit for powering by far the most innovative digital operation in politics.
. @miafermindoza ran a revolutionary livestreaming operation that garnered over 100 MILLION views in the last year.
And on top of that she produced an incredible video about Bernie& #39;s LGBTQ+ rights record. https://youtu.be/fARW2YwerTc ">https://youtu.be/fARW2Ywer...

. @nationalparke is the best social media director in the world. And it& #39;s not even close. (Instagram interactions/Facebook interactions)
Those numbers would not have been possible without the incredible work of @HBendaas, @AidanKingVT and Lance Tran who worked day and night helping to run Bernie& #39;s social media.
. @skenigsberg produced so many beautiful endorsement videos but my favorite was probably Emily Ratajkowski& #39;s which got some ungodly number of views. https://youtu.be/rbtgZDkvTMk ">https://youtu.be/rbtgZDkvT...
. @armandaviram started working for Bernie in 2017 to build a digital video operation that had never existed in politics before. And he did. He& #39;s produced too many incredible videos to count but here are two of my favorites:

. @meramerrr is one of the most talented people I& #39;ve ever worked with. It& #39;s impossible to name a favorite video or ad she made for Bernie but "With These Hands" captured what this movement is all about in a way that few videos have. https://youtu.be/IckwaUkr2Dc ">https://youtu.be/IckwaUkr2...
. @tahseenmachine told stories that no one was paying attention to and captured the people that power this movement. Her piece on the Sunrise Movement& #39;s quest to transform this country is worth a watch --> https://youtu.be/8pHxFWV5j_8 ">https://youtu.be/8pHxFWV5j...
. @samoriginals brought a unique perspective to our team and told the stories of people who have been left out of the national conversation for far too long.
Just a couple weeks into the job @bria_bass made one of our final TV ads in Iowa that hammered home the contrast with Biden on Social Security and helped carry us to victory. https://youtu.be/m7FWfvPf5Wg ">https://youtu.be/m7FWfvPf5...
Without @yvettetorell we would not have been able to produce ads in house. She is responsible for so many but my favorite by far was our closer in Iowa and NH, "Transform This Country." It is the message of hope and solidarity that is core to our movement. https://youtu.be/xpPwllkVaGg ">https://youtu.be/xpPwllkVa...
So many of the stunning visuals you saw in Bernie videos and ads were shot by Spencer Byam-Taylor. He is a remarkable shooter/editor/director. He captured the essence of Bernie Sanders and this movement in the beautiful "Not Me. Us." https://youtu.be/OADlaeggv14 ">https://youtu.be/OADlaeggv...
Josh Hansen traveled the country documenting Bernie and the movement he led. He& #39;s made too many spectacular videos to count but one of my favorites was this message of hope and solidarity that we released just before Iowa. https://youtu.be/2WK7q0hS6sI ">https://youtu.be/2WK7q0hS6...
Of course none of these videos would be possible without Christian Bowe who dreamt up so many of the concepts, tracked down the people we featured and scripted so many inspiring videos. "Our Stories" is one of my favorites --> https://youtu.be/QthIjoa2wuQ ">https://youtu.be/QthIjoa2w...
. @filmthebern and @vanglock3 gave up their lives to document every moment of this campaign on the road with Bernie. They were the reason we were able to livestream every event and they captured the moments we will remember forever.
. @filmthebern also produced one of my favorite videos of the campaign - a moving piece about @CoriBush and Trayvon Martin. https://youtu.be/X7_4vCvky-8 ">https://youtu.be/X7_4vCvky...
. @SamPhill21 and @ChrisMoore_94 worked behind the scenes to produce every studio shoot and podcast and dreamt up brilliant pieces like this one: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2409822055917586">https://www.facebook.com/watch/...
. @tylerevansokay led one of the raddest design teams. The posters for the Bernie concerts were cool as hell.
But he didn& #39;t do it alone. @ScreaminGriffin, @theelbp and Jason McIlwain were responsible for everything from graphics at stadium to lit to graphics on social media. They took the Bernie brand in new and incredible directions.
Most campaign podcasts are dull. But @wbend produced a fantastic and informative podcast with @briebriejoy that is worth a listen regardless of your feelings about Bernie Sanders.
