Summary of Project:

I chose to create a public relations plan for a graphic design and printing company named Vectrum Graphics. I worked closely with the owner of this company, Brad Mills, to understand and help define his goals. I conducted research into the current marketing strategy of the company, the social media platforms, and the website itself. After identifying the key audiences and composing the key messages I wanted the plan to communicate, I was able to devise three strategies to help achieve and overarching goal to promote new products and services in a digital space.
