👋 Welcome New Members & Swag Giveaway!

Hi there! 👋🏻 My name is Camryn Reid, I am from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I was born and raised here and after college landed a marketing job at a non-profit Broadway theatre in town. After two years, I wanted to broaden my knowledge in the Marketing world so I recently got a job at POET, a biofuel company in Sioux Falls. With starting at POET, I was able to choose a social media scheduling tool and Sprout Social & the Arboretum were the best option! When I’m not scheduling social media at work, I am a part-time cheer coach for Augustana University. I also have a husband, a step-son, and two black labs, so I stay pretty busy!

Hi Katie! This sounds like a great tool to have when working with college students. My biggest piece of advice for staying relevant to college students in social media (as a not-to-far-out-of-college student and coach of college athletes) is to stay on top of trends! My idealistic account to follow for content in the college world is GCU (Grand Canyon University). They have awesome and trendy content to keep kids invested in your message! 

Welcome to The Arb everyone! We are happy you’re here. 

Hi everyone! My name is Tori and I currently reside in the Greater Philadelphia area. After (very) recently graduating from university, I landed a position as the Social Media and Community Engagement Specialist at NOVA (Network of Victim Assistance), a non-profit organization that provides services for victims of sexual assault and other crimes.

I love every opportunity I can get to broaden my knowledge about the ever-changing world of social media, especially now that I work in the non-profit sphere. I find that social media marketing in the non-profit sphere, especially when working around such serious subject matters, can be a difficult… figuring out a balance of getting word of our important services out there while also trying to keep people engaged with interesting content. 

Always open to any advice possible! :)

Hi everyone, I’m Kylie, and I live in central Ohio. I am a social media coordinator for Watkins Wellness. I’ve worked in the past in social media customer care for other companies like Zulily. I have a passion for learning new things and I love my job because it allows me to engage with people all over the world. My team here at Watkins is amazing and I really feel like I’m lucky to work with such awesome people. Outside of work, I’m a mom to a 13-year-old boy, my partner and I have been married for 3 years and we have a home full of fur babies as well because we’re suckers. They’re all rescues and they keep me busy. I work remotely, which I wouldn’t change for the world! 

Here are some answers to the sample questions since I’m really bad at introducing myself on the fly. 

1️⃣ What inspired you to become part of the Arboretum community?
I want to learn more about Sprout since it’s something that is new to my team and for myself. I want to ensure that we are utilizing it in the best ways and getting the most out of it. 

2️⃣ Do you have specific areas of interest or expertise in social media marketing?

I love Community engagement, my passion is building a voice and getting engaged with customers through social platforms. 

3️⃣ What challenges or goals are you looking to tackle with the support of our community?

I’m just excited to learn as much as I can. I love that this resource exists! 

4️⃣ Share a fun fact about yourself unrelated to marketing.

A fun fact about me is that I collect and read tarot :) 

5️⃣ Are there any social media marketing topics that you're eager to explore and discuss here?

I’m honestly just open to learning everything that I can to broaden my knowledge.
