Though the position entailed a vast assortment of experiences, my personal contribution included leading and organizing "Cow Appreciation Day" for the 1,000 corporate headquarter employees. Meant to promote the brand’s image, the Chick-fil-A cows, the project involved a $2000 budget, an 8-week timeline, and the ultimate responsibility of creating a “REMARKable” experience. The day involved many innovative ways to incorporate employee involvement, as well as branded expertise in leveraging the Chick-fil-A brand within the DNA of its internal community.
