Pretty significant moment for the small, but mighty NT TikTok team re: NT News' recent Webby wins: 'NowThis racked up over 77 million views and gained 324,000 followers on TikTok in its first week of coverage of the Ukraine-Russia conflict.' @ali_farooqui23

Vox Media creators won big at @TheWebbyAwards for great storytelling on social and audio! Congrats to @voxmediapods, @nowthisnews, @cafedotcom, @PreetBharara, @voxdotcom, @nhassenfeld, and the teams behind this award-winning content.

Mike Madden was an absolute visionary who brought NowThis’s TikTok to new heights —- including a Webby. Hire him

[Mike Madden @mmadden90]

If you had to point to one person as the heart of soul of what NowThis was, look no further than Jas. Long hours, hellish commuting times, and ever-changing newsroom—-she’s the true MVP.

After 8.5 years at NowThis, I was laid off today along with many of my talented colleagues. I’ve produced thousands of videos and connected w/ so many amazing people. It was rough finding this out at 1AM, but I am excited to see what’s next for me. Until then my DMs are open.

Madden took our TikTok to new heights as evidence listed below. Hire him and our other incredibly talented storytellers

@carlyhenriquez_ Carly, couldn’t thank you enough for the kind words!

[Mike Madden @mmadden90]

My time at #NowThis has come to an end. After 8 1/2 years there, I got laid off today along with many other talented people. I’m also locked out of everything. So now I’m looking for a job - any opps would be gratefully welcomed. Here are some of my fav things I worked on 🧵

[Mike Madden @mmadden90]

@Sebauyanet Thank you for the kind words, Seb! We’ll always have Bruuuuuce.

👇🏼 👇🏼 this thread. Madden has such a sharp mind for content and social video and it was a pleasure seeing his approach to so many stories up close. Every project you’ll see mentioned in this thread made NowThis a better shop and our newsrooms loss could be your gain.

I was just trying to write, "I'm a reporter at the L.A. Times," but my email's auto-complete had other, darker ideas

Hi I just got laid off from my job at NowThis. I’m locked out of my email and my computer so I didn’t even know until a coworker texted me. I worked there for 6+ years as a senior writer and I worked very hard there. I’ll post a bunch of stuff I worked on but I need a job :-)

Places like NowThis and The Intercept have done really important and unique journalism. Read every word of this https://t.co/vTOR3nTWJX

[Mike Madden @mmadden90]

If you think I might be a good match for your company or brand, I’d be more than happy to chat. My email is in my bio here, you can find me at salamisam11 on IG (big ‘Heavyweights’ fan as a kid), and over at my LinkedIn

[Mike Madden @mmadden90]

Anyway, if you’ve made it this far, I put everything I had into this job. There were some really, really fun days and really, really dark days. I did everything right. But I still got the boot. To everyone affected, keep your heads up. It was a pleasure working with you all.

@snmrrw One of the top 5 things we ever put out
