  • Ensure consistency such that what we're promoting outside the app matches what's in the app and vice versa.

• Maintain a calendar of seasonal and timely opportunities to showcase our programming.
• Review, update and maintain our growing inventory of video to ensure it's being used effectively and opportunistically
