Learning About The Social Media Marketing World With Kenya Mericle

-


    Hey there, welcome back to my blog! I'm super excited to share this week's post with you because it's all about my latest adventure - creating a podcast with some of my fellow classmates. I teamed up with Carly Coia and Kenya Mericle to dive into the world of Social Media Marketing and get the inside scoop on Kenya's job as a Graphic Design and Marketing Assistant at Ohio Northern University’s Office of Communications and Marketing. During the podcast, we delved into Kenya's background and gained insight into her experience as a graphic design major, particularly in relation to her recent projects involving social media marketing across various platforms on Ohio Northern's campus. 

    Our conversation explored the factors that motivated her to pursue a career in graphic design and the decision-making process that led her to choose this field of study. Additionally, we examined how her graphic design expertise has been instrumental in her work as a social media marketer. Kenya blew our minds with her incredible talent and creativity! From her captivating Instagram stories to the informative news sent out to families of students, athletic content and all the branding in between, she truly does it all. Carly and I were left in awe of how she manages to create such amazing content. Using the latest Adobe software and Ohio Northern's expert guidelines on fonts and colors, Kenya has mastered the art of grabbing the attention of incoming students, alumni, and everyone in between by her branding. With her expertise as a graphic designer and her daily on-the-job insights, she seamlessly blends her academic knowledge with practical experience to create stunning content that showcases Ohio Northern's beauty and success. Her ability to capture the essence of the university and market it in the most effective way is truly remarkable. Every day, she adds to her arsenal of skills and knowledge, making her an invaluable asset to the team. 

    We had the privilege of speaking with Kenya about her role as a Social Media Marketer and the type of branding she creates. However, we also wanted to hear her thoughts on whether the social media world will have a positive or negative impact on the marketing industry. During our conversation, Kenya shared her concerns about false media and how it can negatively affect marketing and branding efforts. Despite this, she remains optimistic that social media can continue to benefit the industry if used responsibly and with accurate information. Kenya also expressed her excitement about the potential of AI and how it can be a valuable tool for marketers if utilized correctly. Overall, it was clear that Kenya is passionate about her work and deeply cares about the impact it has on others. Thank you again Kenya for joining us in our podcast to gain awesome insights into the social media marketing industry at Ohio Northern. We look forward to continuing to see all your work!

Sunsets + Friends

        There's a spot on campus that I absolutely adore. It's on the west side, where the ground is flat and the corn fields seem to stretch on forever, leading your gaze to the horizon line. It's the perfect place to watch the sun set into the night, and let me tell you, it's a sight to see. The colors are simply breathtaking - the red and orange hues blend into pinks and purples, while the bright blue sky provides the perfect backdrop. As I watch the breathtaking sunset, I can’t help but feel a sense of tranquility wash over me. The clouds are so fluffy and the colors blend together in perfect harmony, creating a texture that is always so mesmerizing. I love to take photos on my camera of the amazing sites, always trying to capture the warm light of the sun as it slowly dips below the horizon, illuminating every detail of the scene before me. From the towering trees to the power lines in the distance, every component is visible, and the reflection of the water from p

Back to School!

Welcome to my first blog post!!      Here we go again! The feeling of being back on campus is like a breath of fresh air. We are all so excited to see each other and catch up on our summers. Taking a look back at the fun times we had when we were school free. There are so many familiar faces as well as many new ones. My classes start next week, but I'm back early for Cross Country. We get to move in early for Cross Country camp week. Getting settled early always beats the rush of people flocking in with their lives packed into a few cars. Moving in with my three roommates was a blast! We spent hours decorating our apartment, making it the perfect cozy and colorful space to call home for the next nine months. But let's be real, it was also a bit stressful. With all the furniture, decor, and personal belongings to organize, we definitely had our work cut out for us.  I am a junior this year. That is definitely blowing my mind! As I reflect on the past two years of college, I can&

Denison XC Race!

        Last weekend was a thrilling one for me as I took part in my first cross country race of my junior season at Denison! I have been nursing a back injury for three weeks, which meant I had to do a lot of cross training and easy runs while incorporating speed workouts on our anti-gravity treadmill. Despite the setback, I was determined to make the most of the race by using it as a workout. My plan was to run with a slower pace group and treat it as a progression run, where I would gradually increase my speed with each mile and maintain it until the finish line. Since I hadn't done any on-ground workouts before the race, I saw it as an opportunity to prepare myself for the rest of the season.      As I stood at the start line, my heart was pounding with excitement. Finally, I was back in the game after missing out on the first meet. The sound of the gun going off was like music to my ears, and my body and mind were in perfect sync. I started off at a steady pace, but as my adre
