Meaningful Marketing

 

Bringing Business to Life

These projects have given me the opportunity to apply my learning and further develop my skills in digital and community outreach marketing.

Personalized Branding

Creating a unified look across websites, social media, and physical materials ensures your audience develops a consistent and memorable image of your brand and its values.


To the left is a pamphlet I designed for Graduated Hope, a nonprofit based in Colorado Springs, CO. Inspired by the natural beauty of Colorado, I incorporated earth-toned colors and imagery of Pikes Peak, mirroring the organization’s website design. 


This cohesive approach reflects the idea of “home” that Colorado represents, aligning with the nonprofit’s mission to provide short-term housing solutions and help individuals plant roots in the city.

Social Media Management One of my personal ventures, Hooked On a Feelin', featured personal crochet designs, with content showcasing handmade creations, customer orders, and behind-the-scenes processes. While I no longer actively post on the account, this experience allowed me to explore the many facets of social media management.

Using a set budget to promote content allowed me to reach 1,000+ views on specific posts.

Community Outreach

My time at the Fort Collins Texas Roadhouse has provided a rewarding opportunity to build connections within the local community. This includes not only engaging with guests in-store but also proactively reaching out to individuals and businesses across Northern Colorado who were unfamiliar with the brand.

Through my dedicated partnership outreach efforts, the store achieved a notable return of $9,694 between January and July 2024, highlighting the value of fostering community relationships and driving local engagement.
