Let me start off by saying that this midterm project was a lot of fun. It came with challenges, sure, but overall I felt like it was a great, real-world way to practice my skills! I’m excited to have been able to help put together a project that I can use as part of my portfolio in the future. Wantable was a great client to work with, and I feel like having Sam and Lindsey in class with us was really helpful. They really helped my group and I narrow our objectives and nail our strategy down.
My favorite part about this project was looking for the influencers. It was tough to wade through the ridiculous amount of amazing women on Instagram to really find people that I felt would work well for Wantable’s mix, but I had fun looking at all of their blogs. I am inspired by how many women are building careers independently and using the internet to do it! It kind of makes me want to start a blog of my own.
Overall, I believe that my group communicated well, and we had an easy time combining our ideas into one cohesive project. That can be tough when you work in groups sometimes, so it was a good feeling knowing we were all on relatively the same page to begin with. I think we all worked hard and contributed a lot to the finished product. It was fun to bounce ideas off of each other and I’m proud of the work we did together.
I am looking forward to working with Wantable again! I thought this project was a really awesome opportunity.
