  The Burr

  Jan 2011 - May 2011

  Marketing & promotions manager

  I was one of two people in charge of marketing The Burr magazine and TheBurr.com, Kent State University's general interest magazine and affiliated web site. We had the freedom to promote The Burr using whatever methods we though would be best, as long as they were in our budget. We placed table tents with QR codes on tables in the student center to increase awareness and to drive traffic to TheBurr.com. We also had t-shirts made with "The Burr" logo on them. We handed them out to students on campus and took pictures of the people who received them. They could then go to TheBurr.com to see their picture online. Show less

  McKinney-Cerne, Inc.

  May 2011 - Aug 2011

  Advertising & public relations intern

  I was an intern at McKinney-Cerne, Inc. As an intern, I helped put a proposal together for the Cleveland APL, and I helped choose what media would be best for the campaign with the budget we had. I communicated with the media such as Time Warner Cable and Clear Channel to see about buying ad space, and I put together a media plan. I had to figure out which stations and which areas around Cleveland would be best to advertise in. I put together an ad (came up with concept, wrote copy then created rough) for McKinney-Cerne to go in the Tri-County Business Journal. I acquired some experience going to client meetings and meetings with media representatives. I also did a lot of public relations work such as writing and sending out press releases, and I was in charge of tracking a pro bono magazine campaign. Show less
