I have been waiting to post this blog post for a while, but I was waiting for the commercial to be finished!
This summer I worked as the Social Media and Public Relations Intern for AROS Communications in New York City. I worked from May to August 2018.
I was given amazing opportunities and had hands-on working experience. I created a multimedia press release: written, digital and a video for Madison Avenue Business Improvement District (BID), which is the video linked above. I advised clients on social media accounts. I represented AROS Communications at Revfluence, an influencer event with a client. I also, coordinated with clients for events. I had an amazing summer!
During my time at AROS Communications, I wrote four press releases: 2ndAnnual Avenue Altruism Awards Children United Gala Benefitting Save the Children on September 13, 2018 at the United Nations, Spend a Magical Summer Day on Madison Avenue, Every Shoe Lover’s Dream Can Come True on Madison Avenue, and Dress like a Princess on Madison Avenue.
My press release titled, Spend a Magical Summer Day on Madison Avenue, was loved so much by the client, Madison Avenue (BID), that the client wanted to turn the press release into a YouTube commercial. I took the press release that I wrote, made a script out of it, contacted the locations for the video shoot and then starred in the YouTube commercial.
This internship gave me amazing experience writing press releases and collaborating with clients. I gained valuable work experience as well as life long experience that I will continue to use in my professional and personal life.
