Public Relations Intern

Summer started at Solis Tek (Generation Alpha), shortly after graduating from college, as their social media manager. That role quickly transitioned into rebranding the company, by bringing the assignment in-house, saving the company $30,000, and developing a new brand to reflect new business goals, ventures, and outlook. Beyond that assignment, Summer's duties still included social media along with event planning, research and development for new projects, website maintenance, and writing press releases.

Marketing Manager

Summer created and implemented an effective social media strategy to generate increased engagement across all platforms during her internship. She did so through analyzing and tracking metrics to optimize content posted and gain insight into followers. Since Lake Tahoe is a huge vacation destination, she connected with travel influencers to implement content collaborations and increase exposure to new audiences. Summer also maintained the company's website and updated the content.
