Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression: TikTok
In 2021, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education reached out to NODEHAUS to experiment with the emerging platform TikTok to extend their mission of defending free speech and expression. We went to work converting their principles into entertaining micro-content that went viral to reach millions of people.
After three years working with FIRE (now, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression), it’s Mission Accomplished on building a unique and powerful presence on one of this generation’s most prominent platforms with over 78,000 followers and 1.5 million views.

Most of the credit must go to Jacob McElroy who largely wrote, produced, edited, if not performed in and shot himself, for most of the TikToks produced for FIRE.
Credit to Tran Hoang Calvin as the executive producer, managing the client relationship and making sure videos were scripted accurately to the client’s mission.
Thank you to all the others who were strung into performing, editing, animating or otherwise getting involved in the production of these Tiktoks, especially Jenna Bassett.
