-: My name is Jane Peterson
and I am the marketing manager at Glensheen Mansion.
So digital media is a huge focus,
social media being a primary focus of digital media.
So Facebook, Instagram, Twitter
are our main outlets for social media.
I also work in earned media so public relations,
connecting with the community, local news stations,
T.V. stations throughout the region and the state,
and so yeah!
Really just working with advertisers
and digital media to get the word out about Glensheen.
Normally my day consists of checking social media
from the evening prior.
You know making sure that there aren't any comments
that I need to respond to,
and then just following up on that
and then checking in with email,
and working/touching base with any advertisers,
or reporters that I've been speaking with,
but otherwise it's kinda fun
because a lot of my day is creating.
And so I get to create social media posts
or I get to create a new idea for a marketing campaign,
or I'm brainstorming with other team members
and we're coming up with a new next best thing.
We always determine who our audience is,
so who is that we want to find out about this event,
and then also what our main message is.
What do we want them to know?
What is the goal of the event?
What is it that we want to achieve from this event?
And so once we have our audiences
and what our main message is,
then we're able to move forward with
what platforms we wanna be on,
what the creative and what the visual will look like,
and then we're able to roll it out
onto all the platforms and the different venues
in which we're able to get the word out but,
really unless we have the audience
and the message, then we can't go anywhere without it.
You know it's funny 'cause social media never sleeps
and so I am glued to my phone but I love it.
I love seeing people's reactions
to the things that we share on Facebook and Instagram,
and it's really nice because I can adjust
in real time then if things are going well,
or if things are maybe not going so well,
but being a university employee I am 8:30 to five
and then a flexible work schedule
if there are other events,
or engagements that I need to be at
outside of those hours.
