Carly Walsh—FindSpark Wrap Report

Carly WalshThe George Washington University

Overview

I’m Carly, a senior at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. studying Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. I am moving to NYC this summer to intern and pursue career opportunities as a young creative.

What was my goal?

To spread awareness about FindSpark at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and create a community of students who share a common interest in

pursuing a career in the creative industries in New York City.

Did I meet my goal?

Yes, I believe I met my goal. I think I spread awareness of FindSpark at The George Washington University. My classmates interested in pursuing careers in the creative

industries were excited to learn about FindSpark.

Did I meet my objectives?

I did not meet the objective of driving 300 views to the FindSpark website, but I came close. I drove 206 total

views to the website using bit.ly/FindSparkGW.

I think I could have done better, but I am happy with my view count. I also shared specific, event-related links several

times instead of the trackable bit.ly link.

What did I post on social media?

Facebook

This was my first Facebook post about FindSpark. 19 people

liked my status update, and many

more stopped me on campus and

messaged me to find out more.

I had a great time at #FindSparkFest. I connected with representatives from The Barbarian Group, BuzzFeed, Livestream, MKG, and more. Meeting Tatiana Milcent (a fellow Campus Ambassador!) from MKG

led to a series of interviews for a summer internship position.

Pictured beside me in Emily’s twitter photo is Cj Ballesteros, a senior at GW. Cj is a young creative pursuing a career in Film and Television in Los Angeles, CA, but he found

#FindSparkFest to be an extremely valuable networking opportunity. He especially enjoyed connecting with the representatives from LiveStream.
