The Dr. Pol Programming Engine

Managed the long-term programming strategy for National Geographic’s #1 franchise, The Incredible Dr. Pol (2018–2025). By architecting a year-round calendar of "eventized" seasonal stunts and leading the content strategy for the dedicated FAST channel, I maintained the series' status as a dominant multi-platform pillar.

Key Strategic Stunts

Signature "Pun-Driven" Marathons​​

​

Orchestrated iconic stunts including 12 Days of Pol, 4th of Pol-y, Polympics, Vetsgiving, and Super Pol, turning traditional holiday windows into peak "appointment viewing" events for the network.

FAST Channel Leadership

​

Populated the programming and content rollout for the dedicated Dr. Pol FAST channel. I optimized the 24/7 stream to ensure high-retention "lean-back" viewing, catering to the rapid growth of the ad-supported streaming market.
