Beth Crosby
Seeking Paid Partnerships
Hi!
I'm an LA based actor, writer and content creator best known for my viral social media brand ""Garbagemom,"" and as the co-creator of the hit web-series ""Jessica and Hunter"" (NewNowNext Award nominee) but my daughter best knows me as “mom who relies on chicken nuggets as a meal 3 to 5 times a week.”
Oh yeah, I also graduated with a BFA in Musical Theater from Carnegie Mellon School of Drama (I’m an alto with a high belt for all you MT nerds out there), toured the country with The Second City Comedy Theater, and was a member of the world famous Groundlings Sunday Company. But hey, who wasn’t?
I've amassed 1 million subscribers and over 500 million views across my social media platforms, and have been featured in TIME Magazine, E!, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed and (most importantly, obvs) TMZ.
My fave TV credits include Fuller House, Dr. Ken, Episodes, Team Kaylie, Superstore and JONAS LA. I’ve also acted in about a trillion commercials. Yes, I’ve counted, it’s a trillion.
I absolutely love being an actor, but I much prefer to write the actual words that come out of my mouth which is why I turned to social media content as a form of self expression. In 2016 I gave birth, and I realized as the only woman to ever give birth that I should absolutely write and post about my experience.
Turns out, millions of other women are mothers too! After I got past my jealousy I got to work creating content about the sh*tshow that is motherhood, other parents started liking and engaging with my content, and my social media brand “Garbagemom” was born. (So, I guess you can say I gave birth twice?)
Since then I’ve partnered with global brands such as Mercari, Third Love, Babble, Parade, Hearthsong Toys, TEMU (sorry about that one), Premier Protein, Earnin’ and everyone’s favorite, Squatty Potty on branded videos and paid media.
Oh, and I'll soon graduate from The ONE Creator Lab, in collaboration with The ONE Club for Creativity and Tiktok, where I'm currently being mentored by some of the biggest and best creative directors, strategists, copywriters and producers in the advertising world to help grow my skills as a content producer and brand marketer.
TLDR; I'm a social media obsessed musical theater junkie, turned comedy nerd, turned mom.
