Directing Marketing for EMU's SVA


My Internship with the Student Veterans of America at Eastern Michigan University has been going great.  With them, I have been managing social media, creating fliers, promoting events and designing different marketing opportunities.  So far I have promoted two separate events, both of which had some pretty great turn outs, one of which was a 5k "Walk and Roll" with the purpose of fighting the veteran suicide epidemic.  The SVA had a team of 8 and there were over 200 participants that attended the event!

My other large project for the moment has been editing their logo to make it work better on a t shirt for the organization.  I did this through Photoshop and have been sending it to different shirt companies to get quotes so we can determine where we can get the best deal. 

My results with social media have been great.  I have found that most of my posts get a large amount of viewers reached but I would definitely like to drive some more interaction to try to encourage a sense of community on the page.  I will keep you posted as to how well I do with this in the future.

This internship has really given me a very strong sense of autonomy in the sense that I decide what needs to get done and I do it.  I really do enjoy that aspect of this position and I love seeing the fruits of my labor as well.  Well, time to get back to work.  Catch you all soon!

Getting to Know the Talent Around Me

When you working in a new environment, in my situation in an internship, it is important to get to know the people you are working with day in and day out.  In our internship with Ann Arbor Spark, we have decided to start meeting together for food and drinks at a local restaurant before every Wednesday meeting.  Personally it has bee a fun experience getting to know the other interns.  While most of us, like myself, have a marketing focus, there are web developers, supply chain specialists and graphic designers.  Throughout the past weeks, I have learned valuable skills not just on the job but also from my fellow interns who have different specialties.  If you know much about me, you will know that as a busy student, husband and a father of two sons, I don't get out as much as others.  In this case, I am very glad that I made sure to spend the time necessary to get to know the incredibly bright interns in this program alongside me.

Exciting Panel on Artificial Intelligence

One of the fantastic things about my internship with TrueJob is that, because it is sponsored by Ann Arbor Spark, we have weekly mentoring sessions.  At each of these sessions, the second block of time is spent listening and asking questions at various panels.  The first few discussions took place with prior interns of the clinic at various stages of their careers.  Each session has been really incredible and we have had access to valuable incites. Last night's panel was no exception.  We had the opportunity to speak with Will Foss of Derq and Richard Millunchick of Shoptelligence.  Shoptelligence and Derq, while producing different products for different audiences, both work in the realm of artificial intelligence.  It is no secret that I am not a technically driven individual, but I found what they had to say fascinating. Derq is in the business of predicting the future on roadways.  By studying countless amounts of data images and video, they ca...
