in 2016, the social media agency laundry service had grown weary of racking up impressions and engagements for the world's largest brands. instead, the CEO mused, the wild west of twitter needed a narrator for the cultures it so dearly loved. this separate arm would be called @cycle β @bycycle on twitter thanks to a rather difficult japanese engineer β and i would be its writer.
i created its first formats for editorial cuts β educational explanatory videos celebrating hot subjects in pop culture. a few viral memes, a digiday write-up, original skits, and key retweets later, cycle created a new paradigm for publishers and hasn't looked back since.
