Creative & Written Work

During my undergraduate at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to learn and create compelling, creative work while studying at the Hubbard School of Journalism. The projects within this section are some that I am proud to share.

JonnyPops Integrated Marketing Campaign

As part of my senior capstone project, I collaborated with a team to develop an Integrated Marketing Campaign (IMC) for JonnyPop's latest shelf-stable freezer pops. This was a school project within the UMN Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication and was not fully associated with JonnyPops.

My agency, Golden Works, created a campaign centered around the Simple Minded Proposition (SMP) of 'Spreading Kindness Through Simple Ingredients' and encapsulated the concept with the tagline 'Where Kindness Meets Every Space.' Our campaign ideas were to bring JonnyPops into spaces locally and nationally to spread kindness and bring awareness to the latest shelf-stable freezer pops.

In my role within Golden Works, I took on the responsibility of the media position. In this capacity, I formulated a comprehensive plan covering paid, owned, and earned media for the entire campaign duration. Beyond this role, I played a significant role in conducting the SWOT analysis, conducting primary research on our target audience, contributing to the Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) strategy and overview, and contributing creative ideas.

Ultimately, we presented the campaign to JonnyPops, our client, who will incorporate their preferred concepts into their marketing strategies. This project brought great satisfaction and success, instilling pride in both myself and my agency during the presentation. Feel free to take a look!

Weber Shandwick Financial Model

For my final project in the Management of Strategic Communications course, I was assigned the responsibility of selecting an advertising agency and devising a financial model for it. The assignment allowed us to determine the agency's staffing levels freely, aiming for an anticipated revenue of $6 million. The project involved two key components: the first focused on outlining the agency's capabilities and organizational structure, while the second involved developing a strategic financial management approach and corresponding financial model. In addition, one critical component of our final presentation was the presenting abilities, appearance, and writing. I received a great overall score for this presentation, and I am proud to share it. It's important to note that this project was entirely hypothetical, simulating the experience of managing our own agency.
