.@peytonmobrien has been cooking on the @HQNewsNow tiktok. We've literally gained just shy of 1 million followers because of her hard work this cycle.

one of my favorite @peytonmobrien originals from this year.
we thought it up, posted it, and it... kinda flopped. so we waited for another opportunity to re-up it. and the re-up BANGED!
sometimes, content you believe in deserves a second chance.
Replying to @peytonmobrien
We sent a message to voters through a trending song that they had the power to stop Trump.
This taught us another lesson: don't be afraid to repost content if you believe in it. The first time we posted this it got under 1M impressions. The re-uploaded version generated 9M.
There is so much to learn from @ArlieShugaar, the woman behind it all. Her vision, determination, and ideas have shaped HQ into what it is today. None of this would be possible without her!
This also wouldn鈥檛 be possible with a few other amazing mentors I鈥檝e had along the way - @ethanckelly @laurenavakapp @parkerpbutler

We took feedback folks had from 2024, and created more substantive content that was still optimized go viral, like this edit of James Talarico from @peytonmobrien.

When we launched @HQNewsNow back in February, lots of people had hot takes.
10 months later, we鈥檝e:
- generated 5 BILLION views
- hit 6 million followers on TikTok
- worked with 15+ campaigns to circulate clips that set the narrative online to achieve a blue tsunami.馃У

I am so proud to finally get to call @KeishaBottoms Governor-Elect! The day has finally come where Georgia elected their first Black governor, the first Black female governor in America.
Y鈥檃ll did that!

I鈥檝e thought about this speech a lot the past two years, and especially this week.
This is such a beautiful video from @peytonmobrien, who is the one and only TikTok strategist of @HQNewsNow. @ArlieShugaar you鈥檝e built an amazing team this year across the HQ accounts.
