Newport Jazz Fest

My name is Tasha Bleu. I bring a decade of experience leading international visual strategy at HYPEBEAST, where I generated 3.28 billion views and built over 100 brand partnerships spanning Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. 

I am seeking formal appointment as Chief Photographer and Storyteller—not as a content contributor, but as a strategic leader responsible for architecting a scalable narrative system for the Newport Jazz Festival and Foundation. 

Key Deliverables:

• Cross-Industry Storytelling: We build adaptive, inclusive narratives aligned with global trends.

• Strategic Collaboration: With extensive experience in executive, creative, and marketing partnerships, we ensure your story aligns seamlessly with your strategy.

• Media Mastery: Our expertise in visual and digital media ensures your story reaches and resonates with an international audience, creating measurable cultural impacts.

• Narrative Translation: We simplify complex systems into engaging and accessible stories.

Strategic Levers:

• Co-create high impact partnerships with Hypebeast and Hypebae, valued at $80K.

• Co-engage key opinion leaders and streaming platforms to ignite viral momentum.

• Co-develop a Newport Jazz Fest-branded storytelling hub to boost engagement.

• Co-produce licensed digital assets through weekly sprints, valued at $125K.

Why Now?

As we approach major global events in 2028 and 2031, Newport is at the perfect intersection of music, education, and culture. This is a time-sensitive opportunity to ensure your story is not told after the fact—but shaped in real time by someone embedded, trusted, and aligned with the mission. I'm prepared to lead this narrative layer with precision and impact.
