Bailey Lauerman 2014 Internship. My intern team and I were responsible for debuting and executing an appearance for this non-profit organization at the College World Series. I was able to recruit and connect with a comedian & spokeswoman, Alex Borstein, who attended and helped raise funds for a successful day. We were able to meet the children our efforts were directly helping and our clients were very kind. I wrote press releases and pitch letters which were picked up by local media, a booth and stage time at the College World Series.

While interning with Bailey Lauerman, Ad Age's Small Agency of the Year 2013, I helped collaborate with my fellow interns as well as BL's leadership to strategize, conduct field research, writing and social media promotion for their new products.

While interning for Bailey Lauerman in 2014, Ad Age's Small Agency of the Year in 2013, I worked directly with leadership to research, organize and implement communications strategy for Blue Cross Blue Shield in Nebraska. My work helped outreach for clients and put organized systems into place.

Identified influencers and, as the account administrator, created media lists, utilized social media analytics and created social content calendars which performed 80 percent better than all previous content. At the conclusion of the internship I was asked to stay an additional month as a contractor.
