During my time at Golin, I had the privilege of collaborating with the corporate marketing team to create backgrounders for renowned brands like Smuckers and American Airlines, providing me with invaluable insights into brand development and marketing strategies. I also partnered with the Jose Cuervo Team, identifying trends and successfully sourcing influencers for brand campaigns, contributing to the brand's reach and impact. This experience allowed me to hone my skills in trend analysis and market insights, enabling me to understand and leverage consumer trends for effective marketing strategies. Additionally, my active participation in weekly Trend Drop calls kept me up-to-date on the latest market trends and consumer insights, enhancing my ability to apply these trends in real-world marketing scenarios. This internship significantly contributed to my professional growth in marketing and brand management.

During my internship at The Home Depot, I delved into the company's mission and the Multicultural Marketing Team's objectives, gaining a deeper understanding of their core values. Focusing on branding, marketing, and macro trends among younger generations like Millennials and Gen Z, I gleaned valuable insights into evolving consumer preferences. I conducted comparative brand analyses to identify best practices in messaging and marketing strategies. Interacting with customers from our target demographics, I assessed our brand strategy's effectiveness and gathered key insights. To cap off my internship, I crafted a compelling presentation, outlining recommendations to engage the next generation of home buyers and enthusiasts, contributing to The Home Depot's marketing strategy and its connection with a diverse customer base.

Throughout this ten-week program, I worked closely on the Bulls All Summer campaign, where we integrated into existing grassroots events throughout the summer to engage with the Bulls’ fanbase. I supported the planning of eleven events during the summer throughout different neighborhoods in Chicago. Some of my main roles included reserving photographers and talent for each event, organizing the production document, tracking giveaways, uploading photo galleries to the website and so much more. Additionally, I presented a final presentation at the end of my time with the team to discuss the progress we made with the Bulls All Summer campaign to an audience of twenty team members and executives.
