Click around to look at my portfolio website and blog, where I document my life and work as a journalism and public relations student.
As an intern at Dittoe Public Relations, I put together a targeted media list of national fashion and lifestyle writers, wrote and sent an email pitch, followed up with reporters, sent product and worked with reporters to secure coverage for the LIDS New Era MLB x Levi Collection.
This article by InStyle's Lashauna Williams was a successful piece of earned media I secured from pitch to publication for LIDS.
The piece has an advertising equivalency of nearly $4,000 and an estimated readership of more than 2 million.

My targeted Lake Forest and Chicago-area media list and pitching lead to three pieces of secured coverage for the Evan Scholars Foundation, including this article in the Chicago Tribune.
The piece has an advertising equivalency of nearly $15,000 and an estimated readership of more than 7.5 million.

Although the writer was uninterested in the initial pitch, offering an alternative angle lead to this piece of secured coverage in Imbibe, a niche, bi-monthly magazine for people interested in the many aspects of drinking.
Imbibe reaches more than 65,000 monthly readers.
