As a freelance marketing and public relations assistant, I assisted Rock Inked, Inc. with an ongoing children’s book series. During my project, I created a press release for the client’s newest title and distributed the document and a pitch of the book and author to various media outlets; this would lead to great opportunities like securing author interviews through podcasts and social media book giveaway initiatives. I often contacted other institutions like libraries, schools, and children’s museums to help schedule author visits. In addition to this, I also reached out to appropriate companies that would help advertise the title to extend the book’s reach; this is when I would develop content that those advertising companies would use and share with their audience. To make sure everyone on the team was on the right page, I updated the marketing summary regularly and, toward the end of my time there, I shared a monthly report with the author and their team. Finally, I would attend virtual author events for the company; I enjoyed this aspect of the role, whether I played a small or large part, it was great to see everyone’s hard work come together in successful events.

As an intern in the Edelweiss Ascend summer initiative, I was paired with Rock Inked, Inc.—one of the program’s partner organizations (creative management and marketing company). With Rock Inked, I was in charge of spearheading four projects. The first consisted of pitching and driving acquisition of a book (A Great Moral and Social Force: A History of Black Banks by Timothy Todd) into libraries across New York as well as Richmond, VA; Boley, OK; Chicago, IL, and Detroit, MI—cities with origins of black banks. This project included reaching out to 100+ libraries. The second project was creating content and handling social media marketing initiatives for one of Rock Inc.’s clients. The third project consisted of constructing an overview and pitch for a client’s manuscript and driving the marketing campaign, in order to aid the client in getting said manuscript picked up by a publisher.

Particularly, if students needed help with reading, I was most enthusiastic to help them in this area, due to my passion for books and literature. I additionally aided students with classroom learning, task execution and language expansion as well as led educational games and group activities.
