Comedy That’s
Just Shy Of
Hurting Your Feelings

Alex Freund

I've been writing comedy ever since Sammi Carter asked me if I was gay in seventh grade and I had to quickly come up with a joke to deflect. I've written two episodes of Hulu's Love, Victor, web content for NBC's Great News, and comedy articles for Reductress.

Love, Victor

Staff Writer & Story Editor — Seasons 2 & 3

A coming-of-age story following Victor as he navigates high school, family, and his own journey of self-discovery. Think Heated Rivalry of Hulu.

Great News

Web Content Writer

Created original web content for NBC's workplace comedy. Nicole Richie once said about me, “Omg, you’re sooo funny. Can you not stand so close to me, though?”

Humor · Satire · Headlines

Regular contributor to the female-focused satire publication. Multiple top-performing pieces. If you're wondering why a guy writes for a women's satire site — it's because I'm kind of girly.

Like a kid who comes out to his parents, but he kicks them out of the house because they don't fit into his new aesthetic.

The pillars of storytelling are the same across TV and brand work. The central question is: how do you get people to invest in a story? You do it by finding an authentic voice that helps people connect.

TV Season Launch · Social Copywriting · Spec Work

Adults — Season Launch

A spec social campaign for the season 2 premiere of Adults on FX / Hulu, from the return announcement to launch day. The copy evokes the show’s punchy, funny tone and plays into the idea of arrested development.

Adults is coming back. Mark your calendars, then forget to check the notification, but be pleasantly surprised when you open up Hulu. Caption: We’re back bitches! Wait, do you think my boss is okay with me saying bitch at work? Season 2 of Adults: They can’t function, but boy do they have gumption. Launch day. Don’t worry if you’re unemployable, you’ve got 8 new episodes of Adults to watch. And if you’re employed, it’s okay to resign. Caption: All 8 episodes of Adults are now streaming on Hulu. Text your dad for the login before he goes to bed!

What I Can Write For You

01

Commercial & Campaign

Writing for TV taught me that people only care about something when it’s complex and real. I know how to give your brand a rich story that makes it meaningful to the world.

02

Brand Voice & Copy

When writing for Reductress, I learned how to have an adaptable voice. I know how to relate to people from all walks of life because I know what makes us human. Take that AI!

03

Game & Digital

I know how to make characters that will have someone holed up in their room for three days straight, because I’ve played games that make me hole up in my room for three days straight.
