During my time at Varnum I planned hundreds of events ranging from educational seminars, to 400-person social gatherings, to a large three-day attorney retreat for over 100 people. I oversaw all elements of these events from initial concept through execution. In addition to event planning I also wrote and distributed press releases promoting attorney and law firm accomplishments and was responsible for the strategy and daily management of the firm’s social media accounts. I also managed integrated marketing campaigns promoting office openings and new practice areas.
