Koolulam, Marketing Consulting
I interned and later worked for the Israeli mass singing initiative and helped them refine their story, improve the guest experience and produce in-person and virtual events. When the pandemic came, I led the development of a product that could support a virtual, global singing event. We brought together 5,000 people from 66 countries to sing Coldplay’s Fix You and used this technology to support many future events.
I was in charge of producing this event that brought together 150 families from around the world to sing a song about just how far they will go.
