INTERNSHIP OVERVIEW
Orlando Museum of Art is a non-profit organization down the street from Rollins College. Not only do they have amazing exhibits, but also educational courses for all ages and abilities, events for families and local artists, lectures from artists and professionals, and so much more. I love the arts, so this was an exciting work environment to be in.
As the graphic design intern, I designed graphics for events, created flyers and handouts, updated some old graphics on marketing collateral, took photos of events for grants and marketing, and so much more. On my first day, the head of marketing and PR had his last day at the museum. I helped fill the gap by creating social media posts and scheduling them in Hootsuite, and I performed a new audit on the social media platforms to get a good picture of the things we could work on while we waited for someone to fill the position.

SOCIAL MEDIA
With the head of marketing and PR position vacant, I decided that I wanted to look at a previous audit that was conducted in 2017 on OMA’s Facebook and Instagram and then conduct my own. I saw that improvements could be made to boost engagement and traffic to the website, and I wanted to help others understand and think about making these changes.
Budgets and time were tight (and no one in that role), so there wasn’t much wiggle room for changes to be made. But, I decided to throw this together anyways in hopes that someone might learn from it. The engagement was extremely low on their platforms, but I made tiny little improvements with the bit of freedom I had. Below, you can read the report I made as well as see the outcomes for the month of October.
On Halloween, I had some freedom to post something of my choosing. Instead of making a promotional post like I’m typically instructed to do, I decided to create a post that was entirely value-based and solely entertaining (but still relevant). I chose a picture of two kids dressed up as Van Gogh and his Starry Night, captioned, “Happy Halloween! It’s time to Gogh trick-or-treating! Simple, funny, cute. But, the outcome was huge.
