Hey blog, I have learned so much this week. I started off the week working on promotional flyers for our collaboration with Arteca Karate. First I figured out what I wanted them to look like and I went from there, I started with a rough draft and outlined it out on Canva. It took me around 5 tries before I found the design that I liked and what colors I though popped the best. 

On Wednesday I started a huge project. I was tasked to start working on our 16 social media posts. This assignment I was given is I am supposed to create 16 social media promotional posts that will be posted each Sunday until we run out about the YMCA and special amenities we have to offer like our sauna. I also have been working outside of my hours to get this project done and I quite enjoy it though it takes a lot of thinking because all of the posts have to look different and stand out from each other which has taken a lot of time and effort. I personally find it quite helpful when I am stuck to try and come back to it and move onto a different assignment which is what I did.

I am also working with Livestrong a cancer society non profit organization to help cancer patients recover and stay healthy during their treatment because it can be so taxing for their health and I'm working with someone from their team to put together some flyers to help to promote this project. I have found a lot of passion for it since this is something that hits home. When my grandma got cancer I saw the tole it took on her body during her treatment process and staying fit is such a important way to overcome something as difficult as that during treatment. I look forwards to writing more about my social media post's once I complete it and I will link them once I am done so you can take a look!

 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...
