Client Presentation

 Recently, for my Social Media Strategies and Campaigns class, we were paired with a client that needed social media to help to guide them for the future. My group was paired with an auto body shop out of Findlay called Findlay Auto Plus. There were many steps to this project. For the first step of this project, tot we met with an employee from the company and just got a basic overview of their company and what they specifically needed from our group for this project. Next, we developed a social media strategy for our client. This was an audit of our company, our consumers, and our competitors. We went over where, what, when, why, and the opportunities for each group. This gives us a basic guideline as to what we are dealing with. Next, we developed a social media policy for our employees. This gives basic guidelines for how employees should act on social media. Next, we developed a content calendar. The content calendar in general is a layout of what posts we will be posting and the s

Much Needed Break

 This last week was one of the most relaxing weeks that I have had in a while. We were on Thanksgiving break, which I am sure was very much needed by many. I had a very relaxing, yet enjoyable Thanksgiving break. The Sunday after I went home I got to do something that I never had the chance to do, go to a Cleveland Browns game. This game was initially scheduled to be in Buffalo, but due to a big snowstorm that hit the city, the game got moved to Detroit. This made it a much easier and shorter drive, so I persuaded my dad to pull the trigger and buy the tickets. We got really good seats for a cheap price. Even though the Browns didn't come out on top, I still had a lot of fun with my family. The rest of the week I went to a couple Thanksgiving parties. It was fun seeing some of my relatives and friends that I hadn't seen in a really long time. Other than those parties, I pretty much just relaxed for that whole week. However, this previous Saturday, I got the chance to tailgate t

Friendsgiving

I had one of the best meals that I have had in a while last night. About twenty of my friends got together and had one big meal before we all went our separate ways for Thanksgiving break. The meal was especially good because it was prepared by one of my friend's mom. In the past, she has come up to campus to make us a home-cooked meal throughout the week and it is always so delicious, so I had very high expectations for this meal. It definitely did not disappoint.  This meal was a full Thanksgiving feast. Any food that you could have wanted on your Thanksgiving table was there. For the last couple of meals, I have been eating at the Wow CafĂ© here on campus and I was completely tired of it. So when my friend told me his mom was coming up, I was so excited. Our friend group definitely struggles with finding food to eat sometimes, so it is almost refreshing to not have to find something to eat. I am truly blessed with some of the best friends a guy could ask for. There aren't a l

Coming to an End

 If you are following the football team and our season, you know that this is the season's last week and last game. I am not going to lie, it has been a very long season for us. We are currently 2-7 which is very unfamiliar territory for many players on our team. In high school, I never had a season with more than 3 losses, so this has been relatively different for me.  Even though our record doesn't show it, this has been the closest team that I have been a part of since coming to campus three years ago. In the future, that is what we are all going to remember. We are going to remember the relationships that we formed and that are going to last for the rest of our lives.  Some of the seniors that are graduating have been some of my best friends for the last three years. I actually live with two seniors that are graduating now. As this week has gone on and we continue to do events for senior week, it has gotten to be very emotional. I still don't think it has hit me that so

Thanksgiving Break

I think it is getting to that time of the year when everyone needs a break. I am currently sitting in class writing this blog and half of my class decided to skip today. I don't think this is due to pure laziness. I believe this is from pure exhaustion and these people need a break. I won't lie, I have definitely thought about skipping a couple classes these last few weeks. I think this is normal for this time of year. Also, this week we have a lot of sports teams in the postseason. Being a college athlete, I can say that it is very hard to always have a perfect balance between sports and academics. When a team is performing really well and has a chance to go deep into the playoffs, I wouldn't blame them for missing a class or two to get a little bit more prepared for their games.   Also, if you have been following Ohio Northern sports you have seen that the football team is not having a good year at all. This has been very hard for me because I have never been a part o

Internship

 For the past couple of weeks, I have been looking for a summer internship. I have never been through this internship process before, so I was pretty confused about what to do at the start. The first step I did was to meet with the professor who deals with all internships. He is pretty much an expert in the field as well. I also met with my academic advisor when scheduling classes and mentioned finding an internship to him as well. It was a pretty stressful process for me. I was a double major in sport management and public relations so technically I had to do two internships to get my two internship credits. After talking to my parents and my public relations professor we decided that it would be best to drop my public relations major and make it a minor. I made this decision because I didn't really enjoy the writing part of public relations, and that is going to be a big part of a public relations job. I just don't really see myself enjoying a job in a PR department. Now that

Homecoming Weekend

This week on campus is homecoming weekend. My email has been flooded with different homecoming events that are going on throughout campus this week. One of these events that are being broadcasted to the ONU campus is a cornhole tournament for the sport management club. For my facilities and event management class, we are tasked with getting 100 teams to compete in this tournament. There is one big problem we have right now. We only have 23 teams signed up, so we have plenty of space to make up. Hopefully, my professor is lenient with his grading because I don't think we are going to make it. Anyways, homecoming is a huge weekend on campus for many groups on campus. Pretty much every sports team is holding special events during this week. Also, I have talked to many sororities and fraternities broadcasting some events that they are putting on.  The football game on Saturday will be the most packed homecoming event on campus as many different groups that were holding these other even
