Macy Gilliam

Social Video Creator
Morning Brew

I create 3-4 short form videos a week for Morning Brew about all things business news, entrepreneurship, and personal finance. I create my content from start to finish; writing, filming, acting, and editing. A lot of what I do is sketch comedy content around business news topics, but I’ve also been branching out to other formats. My favorite, and most popular, series is called “How are you still in business” where I go ask weird little stores in New York exactly that.
I’m most interested in using social video to tell stories, especially of news that is relevant to our audience, or of inspiring, often overlooked, small business owners.
