Sydney Clarridge- Marketing Professional

About Me

My name is Sydney Clarridge. I am originally from Rochester, however I started my higher education at the University of Tampa. After my sophomore year, I decided to come home and attend RIT. I am now a senior at Rochester Institute of Technology pursuing my bachelors degree in marketing with a minor in advertising and public relations. I am passionate for all things creative and aesthetic.

I currently have experience in technical marketing, as my co-op was done at Practical Instruments Electronics, as well as social media marketing experience working with the Inn on Broadway as a marketing intern. I also have held a part-time job as a waitress throughout my college career at The Gate House Café.

After graduation I will be moving to Houston, Texas to be closer to family and look for my first “big girl” job. I would like to start my career in an advertising agency as I hope to one day become a brand manager. Although I am unsure what kind of business I would start, I also hope to become an entrepreneur further along in my career.

I am so grateful for what feel like such a brief time in college and I am looking forward to the next chapter.

Ian Bin: Digital Marketing Specialist

About Me

My name is Ian Bin and I am from Cortlandt Manor, NY. I am pursuing my bachelor’s degree at RIT and graduating in spring 2022. I have had a passion for marketing since I was a kid and hope to continue with my hard work ethic through life.


Experience

Through all of my experiences in life, I have been developing team-building skills by going through multiple team-based organization events through clubs. Having the ability to be able to adapt to changes on the fly. Having to work long hours on numerous school and work projects to be confident they are great.

Through R.I.T, I have been able to experience how I might use my major out in the real world. Using my marketing skills at companies in the past working in their marketing department.

Whether that may be through working on a local Rochester company’s marketing campaigns or learning about current Digital marketing with Search Engine Optimization. RIT has taught me many ways to think outside of the box which, has helped me become a critical thinker and a creative problem solver.

When I am not in school, I am looking for ways to relax sometimes I go through social media to keep up with any of the current trends online. I have worked at 4 organizations at one time or another recently working at c3controls helping them through an Associate Marketing Representative.


Mission

Once I graduate I hope to join the business world and help apply my skills to a new organization working at a marketing firm hopefully gaining enough experience to do digital marketing in the entertainment industry.

Taylor Winter: New Media Marketing

Personal

My name is Taylor Winter, and I am a 3rd year New Media Marketing major at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I was born and raised in Spencerport, New York, a town just a few minutes away from RIT. Both of my parents went to RIT, as well as my brother. My mom works at RIT, so I spent most of my childhood wandering around campus with my siblings.

During college

I came to college not knowing what I wanted to study, and with so many choices in majors it was a difficult task. When I found New Media Marketing, and saw what I could do after college, it was a clear choice. Finding a major that allows me to be able to market and connect to people on social media was a turning point for me in my life. I have been looking into co-ops for this summer and have a few that I have been looking into specifically. Recently I have started helping with the social media for the RIT Men’s club volleyball team, and it has shown me that I really enjoy doing social media for sports teams.

In The Future

I’ve thought a lot about what kind of job I could see myself doing after graduation. There are many interesting jobs in marketing and social media, but after college I hope to be able to do social media and marketing for a professional sports team.

Eve McMullen- New Media Marketing Student at RIT

About Me

Hello! I’m Eve McMullen. I’m from Buffalo, New York. Currently I am a third year student in the Saunders college of business. I’m pursuing a major in New Media Marketing and am in the process of declaring my advertising and public relations minor as well as declaring a minor in human resources.

My Experience

My career aspirations are to get a job in the marketing field or in the human resources field. At the moment I am looking for a co-op in the summer of 2022 in the marketing and/or human resources field. Last summer, I had a marketing and human resources co-op at Orchard Park Recreation. At Orchard Park Recreation I was responsible for social media marketing, registration, program development, interviewing staff, processing staff paperwork, payroll, filing, and communicating with staff and the public. On top of that, I also organized an anti-bullying and character building program for a summer camp ages 4-14.

After that experience, I’m hoping to find another opportunity to expand my knowledge and help me find out what career path I really want to pursue after college. I really enjoy working in a collaborative setting and working with other co-workers as well as being in a creative, positive environment.

Emma Woerle – Student, Creator, Innovator

Advertising – Public Relations – Marketing

About Me

Currently, I am pursing a degree in Advertising and Public Relations with a minor in Marketing at Rochester Institute of Technology. I will graduate in December 2022.

I plan to work in either Advertising or Social Media Marketing and Management for a fashion, beauty or sports brand in New York City.

Experience

I am a motivated senior Advertising and Public Relations major seeking an opportunity to apply my academic, marketing, advertising, and social media experience in a challenging environment. While working as a Social Media Specialist for RIT social media, I helped brainstorm, research, write, create, film, and edit social media content for the mothership accounts (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube). In my time at RIT Social Media, I have become much more confident in my ability to manage large social media platforms, familiarized myself with Social Studio, and become a great team member. 

As the Communications intern for Rochester Jr. Americans, an elite youth hockey team, I gather content, edit and upload content on TikTok and Instagram. I managed both the TikTok and Instagram for the girls’ program. I maintain all daily posting and engagement. I curate content throughout the week and post 2-3 times a week, while content is posted to the stories each day. I also work closely with the players to create fun and engaging content from their perspective (takeovers and TikToks). I have helped the account grow 168% since starting in August 2021, and I am excited to see where the account will go this year.

My course work in social media, marketing, advertising, digital design, media planning and public relations writing has given me a strong foundation in both graphic design and social media strategy. Furthermore, I honed my social media and video production skills by building my personal social media platforms on Instagram and YouTube. 

For more information on my background, please visit my website.  

I plan to work in an advertising or marketing agency after graduation in December 2022. Between my hands on experience working as a social media specialist and a communications intern, my course work, my positive attitude, and work ethic, I feel equipped to enter a fast-paced agency environment.

My name is Sam Walker and I am a Digital Media Producer. I am a senior at the Rochester Institute of Technology studying Advertising Photography. During my free time I immerse myself in and continue to learn more about the different activities and cultures that I photograph and film.

Experience

I am focused on the creation of various forms of still and motion media that promote outdoor recreation as well as the products and services offered by companies in the outdoor industry. My work goes beyond just the photographing and filming of my subjects, as I dip into the different logistical and organizational aspects that go into a production as a producer. Throughout the last few years I have planned and executed multiple productions with crews of all sizes. Most recently, I completed an internship with Douglas Outdoors during which I travelled 14,000 miles to 24 different states across the United States creating photo and video content of Douglas Outdoors fly fishing products and their users. I visited over 30 Douglas Outdoors dealers where both on and off the water I created images for social media and print advertising as well as a few dozen short 3-5 minute videos for social media use.
