DraftFCB [December 2010 to May 2011]

DraftFCB is an advertising agency based in San Francisco, CA. I had the opportunity to work as an Assistant Account Executive on the Electronic Arts account. Here I learned what it was like working in Advertising, as well as what it was like to work agency side.

Major achievements include managing mailings for the EA Games Label, as well as drafting platform statements to shape overall campaigns. Although my time at Draft was short, I did learn a great deal about agencies and their role in the marketing world.

Sandbox Strategies [June 2010 to August 2010]

As a member of the San Francisco team, I worked within the satellite office for this New York based company. This time around I had the opportunity to explore the world of Public Relations, and compare it to my previous positions doing Community Management. It was also a great opportunity to explore what it was like to work in a small office, as opposed to a major corporation such as Electronic Arts.

Major achievements and activities include drafting up press releases and preview letters to be sent out to our contact lists, as well as demonstrating titles such as Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days to members of the press.
