Promoting 'Country Comfort' for Vocal Media Challenge

This project served two purposes. One was to expand my writing. Two was to encourage TV audiences to watch a new Netflix series called "Country Comfort." The cast members were heavily promoting their new show on Instagram so that they could have enough views to launch a second season. Vocal Media just happened to issue its "If this, then that" Challenge right before the series premiered on March 19, 2021. This was the perfect opportunity to recommend the fledgling show to potential viewers.

The requirements were straightforward. The writer needed to recommend a new movie or show based upon establishing connections to a well known movie or show.

I took longer on the process, because I needed to watch the series and do research before delving into writing. I looked forward to watching the series, because this show featured up and coming actors and actresses. When the show finally premiered, I binge watched, because it left me wanting to see what happened next. In addition, I got a cozy, happy vibe, because "Country Comfort" reminded me of the comedy family shows of the 70s and 80s.

After I watched the series, I was able to make connections to "The Brady Bunch" and "Adventures in Babysitting." Even though my article was short with 730 words, I spent over 4,000 minutes editing two drafts. I was able to submit my article on time to Vocal. While I did not win, I was excited to know that one of the young actors saw my IG story, and the show's creator appreciated my recommendation. I was sincerely glad to show support to the cast and the show's creator.
