Badass. Hustler. Boss babe. These are a few words that describe Spanx CEO Sara Blakely.
But I am Janie Stolar, a remarkably humble writer, creative director and nature lover.
In my current role as Creative Director at We Are Social, I lead always-on and campaign creative for culture-savvy entertainment and travel clients. These include Universal Pictures, Sony Pictures Television (Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!), Disney and Tripadvisor.
Before that, I spent years shaping the voices of global tech, CPG and entertainment brands such as Microsoft, Adobe and Pepsi. I started and led a writers’ room for Apple TV (which won a One Show Silver Pencil), and I won two Gold Lions at Cannes for my work with Nutter Butter.
Meanwhile, I’ve proudly lived a parallel life in the comedy sphere. I was a writer on my favorite TV shows (Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Bravo’s Chat Room, Billy on the Street), and I’ve written/directed/performed in online comedy videos that amassed millions of views for CollegeHumor/Dropout and SMOSH.
Sadly one thing I’ve never written is a pithy bio, but I see everyone else writing very effective self-pitches and I’m proud of them.
OK, so…… Click around! Thank you!
