Welcome! I'm Candace Barnette, a seasoned Communications professional dedicated to enhancing your message and impact. I have a passion for writing, editing, strategic communication and media relations.
In a world full of negative news, I created Upbeat as a way to share a handful of positive, uplifting news stories each week - through Instagram and an email newsletter.
Content Curation
Each week, I curate content for Upbeat through a variety of sources, combing through the Internet to find the most positive, uplifting and interesting stories to share.
Writing & Editing
I break the stories down into a personable, simplified version and use Adobe Premiere to add in video, my own voice track, music and transitions.
Design/Motion Graphics
I created my own logo and animated it using Adobe Illustrator and After Effects to give life to the brand.
Email Newsletter
I craft newsletters for my subscribers with those stories and other positive news articles I've curated through Substack.
