Hello -

I spent my whole week doing videos. I did four different videos:

  • The first video that I worked on was with Molly from the YMCA, who is in the marketing branch. This video was to promote the Y's Week of Giving. First I drafted a script using AI (Chat GPT 4.0), and I gave it the parameters that I thought would create a good script. Once I figured out the script that I thought would be good, I presented it to her and we got to filming. We covered four topics in the video. One was safety around water for kids learning to swim; Live Strong, which is our cancer survivor program, so they can stay healthy during treatment; accessible and affordable child care; and inclusive fitness programs for all abilities. Here is a link to the video. https://www.instagram.com/p/DRSc0t6FQSj
  • The second video that I did was for our "Every Mile Matters" 5K. It raises money for our annual campaign to help families and children in need. I approached the athletics leaders with an idea to help promote the 5K. We found a location that we thought had a good background and we went from there. They started off talking about what we're raising money for, and then talked about the dates. Here is a link to that video. https://www.instagram.com/p/DRDYIciE9tF
  • I also worked with Pat on a different video to promote the Week of Giving. He talked about the benefits of donations and how they can help. We used AI again to write the script. Here is a link to that video. https://www.instagram.com/p/DRA1PQWCSdY
  • Also Linda and I filmed a video about nutrition for teens. We cover points like eating healthy, sleeping good, and not doing drugs. That video hasn't been posted yet.

 In the first few weeks of my internship at the YMCA Greendale Branch I have been on the marketing team. Every day is a new adventure and I can't wait to follow you all along with me on this journey. This past week I have been focusing a lot of time on social media posting, learning about analytics such as peak times to post and how to create easy eye catching post descriptions that will grab peoples attention. I have also been putting a lot of effort into creating videos for the YMCA see attached link for the video that I directed:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DPmr_hojSzl . I have also worked on creating staff shoutouts such as:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DPq-pItiUBQ   . My internship is not just about learning about marketing which is my main focus. It's also about making sure people have the best experience possible when they walk through the door and making sure the YMCA is a welcoming place, I feel good with the work that I do and feel motivated to put ou...

 In the past week I have been working a lot on flyers around the building specifically I have been working a lot of pickleball promotions as well as promoting our haunted house. The haunted house was very fun to work on. Anyone could show up to the building and the haunted house was free. It took a lot of time and effort to get everything set up. A TON of promotion had to happen, we did lots of meetings on it as well which I found very interesting since I'm still very knew to the dynamics of sitting down and being in meetings. I personally feel like I have learned a lot so far and I am starting to feel a lot more comfortable in the workplace.  Somethings that I really enjoy is how open everyone is to my ideas. At first I was scared given that I am the youngest person on the marketing team and I thought I might be looked down on. But it was the complete opposite, people have been super supportive and very kind and everyone has been very open to my ideas. I have been doing a lot...

 This week was a bit shorter of a week due to the holiday so this may be a bit of a shorter blog post. This week on Thursday me and my boss Pat worked on a video for our week of giving. The goal of this video is to help to strengthen our community and provide gifts for those in need.  https://www.instagram.com/p/DRA1PQWCSdY  . Me and Pat created a script thinking about what sounds good and how to talk to make the video appealing and easy to watch. After we came up with the script we filmed the video using our iphones. It took awhile and many failed script attempts but we managed to film the video in about 15 minutes. We downloaded the video and then I got to editing. First I decided what transitions to use when I make videos I use a notepad top create a general layout of what I want it to look like. I started with what video transitions to use and what certain times stamps are for the video like when to insert a image or if we need a sound inserted.  On Friday I film...
