Exploring Quinta Brunson's former role in Buzzfeed

Quinta Brunson was chosen to participate in "Buzzfeed Residency," a "programme for aspiring on-camera personalities and YouTubers/TikTokers" because of her popular YouTube videos.

She seized the opportunity and began working for the media company. Quinta Brunson was invited to an interview for a full-time position at Buzzfeed three months later. During the interview, she excitedly told the interviewers that she had a "vision for BuzzFeed videos." She told Cracked:

"I see a world where these videos are serialized. Where we write characters and storylines that people will follow, much like they follow TV characters."

Quinta Brunson stated that she was required to create six videos per month when she first joined the organization in 2014. She did start appearing in other videos created by the organization's content creators.

Brunson's first viral video for Buzzfeed was "9 Perks Of Being Short," which became an instant hit with fans. She has also appeared in viral videos such as"If Black People Said The Stuff White People Say."

She then launched her own Buzzfeed series, "Broke," which was well received by the audience. Quinta revealed that after the series' success, she felt she could "push new narratives into Hollywood" as a content creator. She eventually left Buzzfeed in 2019.

Brunson praised the internet and how it helped her previous videos reach their target audience, which led to a big opportunity at Buzzfeed, telling OkayPlayer:

"In reality, I’m a child of the internet... I was born with it, I love it and I use it every day. I don’t want to abandon it. People think that they have to get out of it to be on TV or movie land. I don’t feel that way and I never want to feel that way."
