For my senior Advertising Capstone project, I worked in a team of four to develop a full-fledged advertising campaign for American Honda Motor Company. Within my team, I played a leadership role in ensuring all assignments were turned in on time and presented in a cohesive, organized manner. In addition to designing and organizing the presentation decks and final campaign book, I contributed extensively to the areas of industry research, copywriting and editing. This semester-long group project really strengthened my teamwork and project management skills as well as allowed me to gain a big-picture perspective of campaign planning. 

It was an invaluable experience being able to communicate directly with Honda and work with my teammates to develop a cohesive umbrella campaign for the expansive Honda brand.
