Fareway Stores, Inc.
Social Media Intern
Summer 2023

For the summer of 2023, I was lucky enough to be the Social Media Intern for Fareway Stores located in Boone, IA. Throughout this internship, I created and scheduled content for their corporate pages, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and TikTok.  I created content for new products, employee and intern spotlights, recipes, mini-series, national food days, and more.  Using Canva, as well as video apps, I was able to use my creative skills to find the best outlets to reach our customers in the most appropriate ways. 

In addition to content creation, I had a variety of other tasks including our inbox leading me to answering questions and concerns of our customers and creating solutions for them.  I also was tasked with running our huge 10-week Summer Sweepstakes, allowing me to pick prizes and winners, and reach out to store locations for prize pickups. I ran a variety of smaller giveaways too.

The final large task I helped with was our athlete ambassador program, ReppintheF.  I created designs for and packaged our merch boxes, brainstormed incentives and ideas for our athletes' content creations, as well as sent out monthly emails to our athletes. 

Found here is some of my favorite videos, graphics, and overall content that I have created.

Kizik Shoes 
Advertising Campaign

December 2022

Kizik Magazine Ad .png

For my Advertising Creativity final, we were given the choice between three different clients for our campaign.  I chose Kizik Shoes, the hands-free footwear.  For my campaign I decided to focus on the target market of pregnant women, leading me to create "Kizik Shoes: Leading You to Life's Miracles One Step at a Time".  For this campaign, I used Photoshop and Canva to create a magazine print ad, billboard, radio ad spot, and a storyboard and script.  In addition, I planned and executed 3 social media posts including 2 Instagram advertisements and 1 Facebook advertisement.  Aiming for comfort and convenience, I believe that I was able to used my skills learned in order to execute a strong message in order to reach my target market.

Anthony's Goods
Advertising Campaign

October 2022

For my Advertising Creativity midterm, we were given a product and had to create an advertising campaign in order to reach a chosen market.  Our product was Anthony's Allulose Sweetener and my chosen market was those 25-35 years old.  With a campaign focusing on using this sugar alternative for baking, I chose the tagline "Anthony's Allulose Sweetener Brilliant for Baking".  I used Photoshop in order to execute a print ad for this campaign which would be placed in a magazine.  To add to the campaign, I created an Instagram post and social media animation for a mock-up bakery that I created showcasing the product.  In addition, I created a storyboard and script for a commercial featuring Anthony's Allulose Sweetener.  I used the elements and creativity skills that I took from this class and applied them thoroughly to this campaign.

For my JLMC 201 final, I was given the opportunity to create an advertising campaign for a company/brand of my choice.  I chose the popular ice cream company Ben and Jerry's and created the tagline, "Lots of Love with Ben and Jerry's".  I created a creative brief, print advertisement, social media advertisement, as well as a 10-second video showcasing what this campaign could offer.  With a goal of displaying the love that Ben and Jerry's can express whether sharing with a loved one or crying into a pint after a breakup, I presented the love that Ben and Jerry's has through a variety of advertisements.

Within my Advertising Creativity course, we have learned a variety of ways to advertise and execute products to an audience.  Some of these include billboards, radio spots, a brochure, and storyboards with scripts.  I have attached an example of my workings for each of these mediums.  I created a billboard using Photoshop for Lava Soap & Hand Cleaner.  I have also written two radio spots for Celsius Fitness Drinks with the help of two classmates.  I have made a brochure layout for Dubuque, IA.

For my JLMC 201 class, we were given the task of choosing a business and creating a PR Media Kit for them.  My chosen business was "The Hair Studio" a small-town hair salon in Ellsworth, IA.  I interviewed their owner and used this information to created the PR kit which included a contact list, facts about the business, as well as a strategy statement.  I was also able to create a mock-up back to school event that "The Hair Studio" could put on.  In addition, this fabricated event was my focus for my press release, my print advertisement and my social media advertisement that I created.  With a goal of sharing more about this fine business and sharing what they have planned for future events, I was able to showcase what "The Hair Studio" has to offer.
