MoneyLion x Paretta Autosport
Brief: To continue the conversation around women in the workplace, MoneyLion created a branded initiative called Women Who Roar. This initiative was dedicated to empowering women to thrive and survive professionally. To bring this initiative to life, MoneyLion sponsored Paretta Autosport, a women-led IndyCar team.
Outcome: I owned and managed the relationship with Paretta Autosport to build the IndyCar sponsorship, create community impact, and produce a nationwide commercial (featured below). The commercial went live during the 2021’s Indy 500 and reached over 1 million viewers across TV and social media, even garnering the support of household brand Barbie and trailblazer Billie Jean King.
Additionally, created an omnichannel approach to showing our support of the women-led IndyCar team, which was her-storic and a first of its kind in IndyCar history. This approach included various social media assets, such as short-form video content, gifs (garnering over 500K views), and public speaking opportunities with Racer.com and Cheddar News.
Finally, partnered with Play Like a Girl during the qualifying weekend at the Indy 500 to bring over 50 girls and their parents the chance to spend a day at the track to learn about all the career opportunities the motorsports industry offers.
Services: Branding, partnership management, commercial production, social media, and community impact

Representation Matters
This is evident when representation is done well — it can truly make a lasting impression. Featured below is a young girl inspired by the side braid worn by many of the Paretta Autosport pit crew members.
