Identify The Problem

Name: Brianna Vasquez
Major: Tourism Development & Management
Internship Site: CRS Temporary Housing
Brief Description of position: Marketing/Communications Intern

IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM: Lack of organization in the Mar/Com pod.

THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM: The Mar/Com pod is located directly across the hall from the President of the Company. There are two round tables in the center of the pod that we use as work space for projects and storage for materials. Under the tables are various boxes, flyers, baskets, and random collateral all in disarray.

WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM: This clutter under the desk is not appealing to the eye and makes the Mar/Com department appear unorganized. It is also very distracting and in clear view of the president of the company. The problem is, we need all the materials on the desk and below the desk throughout the day so they need to be accessible.

HOW THIS AFFECTS or DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR POSITION: This directly affects my position because I am the one person who mainly uses the items below the desks. I am frequently trying to organize the boxes and materials but the use of others causes them to become unorganized and cluttered.

THE BEST SOLUTION: I have thought up various ways to create storage under the table using bins and baskets to display the materials in a more organized fashion, which will make the pod, look much cleaner and will make the President of the company much happier.

IMPLEMENTATION: I spoke with the Presidents secretary last week about ordering some sort of organization system below the tables and she mentioned we might be able to custom design a workspace with storage that will be neatly hidden from the Presidents desk. We will be meeting with a designer later next week to discuss the design plans. I am very excited!

ASSESSMENT: Once the organizational storage workspace has been installed I will be in charge of organizing the materials and maintaining the cleanliness of the Mar/Com pod.

PLRB Conference

The sales girls left Sunday for Seattle, WA for the PLRB conference and I was so pleased that everything came together in time for this event. I wish I was able to attend and see everything that I helped create, but the girls have cameras and the new flip video camera with them to document everything. I am so excited to share those with you once I receive them.

The Picture Below:
The girls are at the PLRB Conference and busy working on building 20 bikes in 2 days! While wearing white I might add! :)

I will continue to post pictures as they are sent to me!

CLICK HERE Campaign

I have been working with our VP Fawn on our latest campaign the CLICK HERE campaign the past few weeks and have really enjoyed the experience and the positive feedback I have been getting from everyone involved.

We recently purchased this neat little Flip Video camera and have used it in our latest campaign. The Flip is easy to use and when you are finished filming your video you can pop out the attached USB and load the video directly onto your computer!

The campaign started as a cute little way to introduce our new BDM (my supervisor) Meagan to her territories. Her business card features a photo of her with her long hair before she donated it to Locks of Love. Below is the flier that we used to email to the adjusters and if you click any where on the flier it takes you to the video playing on our website. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to do it on our blog, so instead I posted the flier and the video separately.

Check it out!

Below is Meagan's adorable CLICK HERE Campaign Video. It is rather cheeky!! Meagan, Fawn, & I had a blast coming up with the verbage and filming! I hope you get a little laugh out of it!
