As Assistant Firm Director at Blue House Agency, I led a full scale event - from conception to launch. My team scaled the event 33% more from the previous year. Alongside the event, we constructed a comprehensive marketing plan, recruitment strategy, and more.
Increase of brand awareness, community engagement, and member recruitment + retainment.
Planned and Executed Full-Scale Media Career Fair: Coordinated venue reservations, equipment, catering, budget management ($1,750+ budget), and event logistics for the Media Career & Networking Fair.
Business Outreach & Talent Pipeline Development: Directly prospected and secured participation from 19 local Boise media organizations and businesses.
Faculty & Student Engagement: Partnered with communication department faculty to integrate event participation into course schedules, targeting 250+ student attendees.

Social Media Growth: Managed ongoing social strategy (Instagram), scheduling 2+ weekly posts and driving a 10% target growth in organic follower growth across agency and department channels.
Brand Strategy & Account Optimization: Reorganized agency social media presence by introducing custom FAQ Instagram Highlights, humanized behind-the-scenes content, and strategic brand messaging ("A Place to Create" / "Internship Experience with Class Credit").
Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC): Designed and produced promotional assets, including digital teasers, event media guides, digital invitations, and printed campus signage with dynamic QR codes.
Student Recruitment & Retention Campaigns: Led agency recruitment initiatives that successfully grew student enrollment by 5 new team members and achieved a 75% member retention rate semester-over-semester.
Targeted Outreach Strategy: Facilitated live classroom presentations, hosted campus tabling events (e.g., DiscoverBoiseState), and designed branded merchandise to boost agency visibility.
