Why Promotions

I love the creative process of designing advertising campaigns and making promotional materials for different brands. I believe being a part of the Promotions community will be a very cool, fun, and rewarding experience.

Relevant work experience

In summer 2021, I worked as a Marketing Assistant Intern at Huxiu.com (a Chinese new media platform), providing consulting services on product/service promotion and branding to Huxiu’s clients. I gained experience in conducting research on industry trends, the company’s competitive advantages, brand visions, etc. I was also the Junior Artistic Director of K-Edge Dance Crew and designed creative content/promotional materials to help the team present our best image to the UVA/DMV dance community.

Relevant skill set

Graphic design, video production and editing, Adobe Creative Suite, data science and visualization

Extracurricular activities

Career aspiration

In the short term, I’d love to work in an advertising agency/consulting firm, but my life career goal is to create and manage my own brand!
