Digital Marketing & Social Media Coordinator
BrewFest Partners
June 2012 - December 2019
I managed the websites and social media accounts for various beer tasting festivals put on by Brewfest Partners (BFP). I also wrote press releases and volunteered at the festivals. I started in 2012 managing the Twitter and Facebook accounts and press relations for Wheaton Ale Fest. In 2014 I began taking on more responsibility for all festival Facebook and Twitter accounts, website updates and press relations. I spent most of my time developing unique social media marketing strategies for each festival, posting and replying to comments. I also maintained the BFP Instagram account.
I monitored social media page performance and adjusted content and timing to increase engagement.
Additional experience:
Moderator for 6+ years of a medium/small subreddit (~17,000 subscribers)
Managed social media accounts for The DePaulia as Online Editor (2011-2013)
