Amanda Thayer

Chicago area-based content creator with a focus of motion graphics, video editing, and creative writing. 

​

Graduating from Governors State in 2018, I received a Bachelor's in Art with a major in Media Studies and Communication. I took classes pertaining to target audience, marketing, advertising, and adapting to different media platforms. 

 

During college, I was hired on as a production assistant creating graphics, videos, and camera operation for our campus news program and other professional productions such as the "American Psychological Association" and "Respond to Violence".

​

I also worked as an intern for Chicago production company Big Shoulders Digital Video Production located downtown in the city that catered to many Chicago clients. I worked with those such as Lou Malnati's Pizzeria, SPIN Chicago, and did animated mapping for ESPN. 

​

Currently, I work full-time and create projects on the side. I also have a growing podcast that I write, record, edit, and market. 

​

Right now, I am starting to seek out UGC opportunities (no specific niche), affiliate marketing and partnerships. I have growing social media platforms with a Disney/Pixar niche as well as with my podcast, "Saturday Morning Serial", which pertains to all things entertainment and fandom.  Additionally, I also write and publish training materials for Pharmacy Technicians via my Etsy shop.
