Chelsea Gordon – Determined Marketing Candidate

Hello! My name is Chelsea Gordon and I’m a Rochester resident. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s of Science in Marketing at RIT, and will graduate in December 2021.

My first collegiate experience was in 2010 at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. I earned an Associate of Arts in fashion design, became a member of Phi Theta Kappa, and graduated magna cum laude. During my studies, I accepted two internships in the Boston area. The first, with independent stylist Christen Mitchell, assisting with developing looks and running photo shoots. The second, working directly with designer David Chum of Selahdor, playing an integral role in the ideation, planning and production of two collections.

Since 2014, I have been a consultant at Susan Deborah Bridal, a high-end bridal boutique in Brighton. I also assist with alterations and manage the social media accounts. In 2018, I managed the rebranding of the store, assisting web designers with content development and organizing the new website. I am proud to have created the boutique’s new logo, displayed on the website, Facebook and Instagram.

Wanting to merge my creative and business passions, I found marketing to be the perfect fit and returned to school.  In May 2020 I graduated from Monroe Community College with an Associate’s degree in the liberal arts program with a focus in business administration, joined Phi Theta Kappa and was honored to receive the Academic Achievement award. I transferred to RIT in August 2020 to complete my Bachelor’s degree.

Jordan Fureman, Filmmaker and Marketer

Hello! My name is Jordan Fureman. I am a fourth-year Film Production student at the Rochester Institute of Technology expected to graduate in May of 2021. Along with my BFA in Film Production, I am pursuing a minor in Marketing. I am originally from the small town of Wrightsville, PA, but I am looking forward to traveling to wherever in the world I am able to lend my services. I am hardworking, passionate, and always eager to learn more about Marketing and Filmmaking.

In the field of Marketing, I plan to specialize in social media and internet marketing, which is what the majority of the RIT courses I’ve taken have been focused on. I’ve been in charge of internet marketing for Franklin-Stevens Jewelers for some time, building a functional E-Commerce website that has boosted watch sales, and several social media accounts that have collectively accumulated nearly one thousand followers, allowing the store to have a direct line of interaction with the customer base. I have also directed, shot, and edited a short promotional video for RIT’s Expressive Communication Center, which they have been using to market their services to the RIT community.

During my four years at RIT, I was able to maintain over a 3.8 accumulative GPA while also working as the Director of Production at RIT’s SportsZone Live. I’ve worked there for the past 3 years and have been one of the student managers for almost 2 years. I’ve also aided in many student productions at the School of Film and Animation, as well as many films of my own. Several of which received high regard from my peers and professors.

Mark Butler, New Media Marketing Major

Hello, my name is Mark Butler. I am currently a third-year student at Rochester Institute of Technology. I am in the middle of getting my bachelor’s degree in New Media Marketing. I am expecting to graduate within the next two years after I study abroad in Japan.

My most notable work with RIT was for the foreign language department. During the fall semester of 2020, I was tasked with transcribing, translating, and adding captions to Japanese videos. These videos were both those requested by multiple Japanese professors and ones I found myself. These were eventually shown in Japanese courses. This experience has taught me to pay greater attention to detail while maintaining an efficient pace while working.

Ever since I gave a marketing course a try, marketing has become a passion of mine. Not only have I enjoyed the various marketing courses I have taken, but I also find myself applying it in the real world as well, looking at activity from various companies and briefly analyzing what marketing tactics they have utilized. I am eager to learn as much as I can about the field of marketing, and I cannot wait to enter the workforce and truly see the inner workings of the world of marketing. I am hoping to get some real-world experience with the marketing co-op that I am aiming to achieve this coming summer.

Meet Alexander Rohring, New Media Marketing Student

Hi there–nice to meet you! I’m Xander, a 20-year-old studying New Media Marketing at Rochester Institute of Technology, originally from Victor, NY. I’m a hard-working, problem-solving student with a minor in Advertising and Public Relations, returning to RIT in the fall to complete a Master of Business Administration degree with a concentration in project management.

My areas of interest include content marketing strategy & generation, social media marketing, copywriting, advertising strategy, and search engine optimization. I have experience working on these types of projects at my work on campus as the social media manager for the RIT Honors Program and at my co-op this past summer working on marketing for Poseidon Systems, a local engineering firm. These have both been rewarding experiences that have helped me develop my skills as a marketer and young professional.

At RIT, I have been inducted into Beta Gamma Sigma, an internationally recognized honors society for AACSB accredited business schools. Additionally, this year I was honored to receive the Outstanding Undergraduate Scholar award that celebrates the top 1% of undergraduate students at RIT who are able to maintain a high standard of academic excellence while also giving back to their community through civic or volunteer work, conducting research, or being engaged in a co-op or work in their field of study.

Gigi Ye – Designer & Marketer

Hello there, my name is Gigi Ye! I am a student at RIT, expected to graduate in May 2021, pursuing a bachelors in Industrial Design and a minor in Business Marketing.

I am originally from Queens, NYC but I look forward to relocating to where the jobs and experiences take me. At RIT, I have worked for FMS Special Events and the Library Archives. These on campus jobs have taught me good customer service skills, processing and organizing materials, and many other tools on the backend of websites.

Now, Industrial Design and Marketing may seem like two very separate occupations, but they actually go hand-in-hand. Through the business courses I have taken, I have learned how to start-up a business, create campaigns and websites, and optimize trends and social media to get people excited about the latest products/services.

My most recent industrial design co-op with Procter & Gamble has provided me with the opportunity to work alongside many professionals in various fields and skills sets. I learned to conduct research and lead user interviews to justify and improve upon my concepts and methods. My design work helped bring ideas to life through storyboarding and illustrations.

In the near future, I hope to continue to improve myself and grow as a designer and an individual. Feel free to check out my resume and portfolio site below!

Noah the Sharp-eyed Digital Marketer!

Greetings, and welcome to this! Noah D. Blankenship is the name I proudly sport. With my Deaf eyes, I regard myself as a sharp-eyed digital marketer with versatile successes. I arrived at Rochester Institute of Technology in Fall 2015, with no idea what I wanted to pursue. I started as an accounting major in Spring 2016, which ended after my first and last accounting internship. I realized that I was too much of a “people person” to stay in a cubicle for hours a week. 

Following that internship, I studied abroad in Zagreb, Croatia, for four months. There, I had many adventures with my study abroad group, and I realized that a Business Management major would be a better fit for me. I did not declare my minor until my second to last semester in my undergraduate studies. Advertising and Public Relations were something that drew my attention in the last year of undergraduate studies, leading my decision to continue my studies with an MBA in Digital Marketing. 

During the summer before my start of MBA studies, I worked at Prudential as a Product Management Intern in their newly found accessibility technology project. I spoke on the panel at the VOICE Summit during summer 2019, representing Prudential, and talked about my experience with accessibility technology. 

Fast-forward to the Fall 2020 semester, I am in my last semester of MBA studies, figuring out what I plan to do next. I invite you to learn more about my other achievements and involvements at and outside of RIT.
