Morgan Hill Chamber of
Commerce, Morgan Hill “No
Bull” BBQ Cook-Off 1st
Annual Event
General Motors
r
I was the account manager on the Mountain Dew
DEWmocracy campaign for one of their newest flavors
“White Out”. My job was to come up with a public relations
plan to get fans to vote for “White Out” as the new flavor. I
made media kits which included a Press Release., Pitch
Letter, Fact Sheet, and a Feature Story to pitch to the press.
I was able to use social media free way to gain attention and
press for their new soft drink.
I was also the account manger for the Morgan Hill BBQ
Cook-Off where my group and I planned all the Advertising
and PR for this event. We created everything from the main
logo, flier, vender forms, and a 15 second radio spot. I
created a press release and pitch to various medias
including radio, newspaper, television, online and
magazines.
General Motors was a nation-wide competition which my
group and I had to come up with marketing plan targeting
college students. I was on the public relations side of this
competition, so I worked on using social media as a costfree way to promote the GM&U brand to college students.
