My Journey in Social Media

With over a year of hands-on social media experience, I have developed and managed content across platforms like Instagram and TikTok, focusing on driving engagement and audience growth. As a Social Media Intern at S'Well The Agency, I created strategic content and analyzed performance metrics to optimize results. At ROAR! Internet Marketing, I designed graphics and videos for multiple clients and strengthened my SEO and keyword research skills. I also managed the social media accounts for Texas State Competitive Cheer, increasing followers by 6%. In addition to my work experience, I completed an Advanced Social Media course at Texas State University, where I developed skills in content strategy, analytics, and platform-specific best practices. Through these roles and coursework, I’ve built a strong foundation in content creation, branding consistency, audience engagement, and digital marketing strategy.

Faculty Feature Campaign for SJMC Social Media

This semester, our team created a faculty feature campaign for the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Texas State University. As part of a "Back to School" series for Fall 2025, we interviewed faculty member, Jill Ament, captured professional photos and video, and produced a full content package—including an Instagram post, Story, and blog article. Our work followed SJMC’s branding guidelines and focused on telling authentic, inspiring stories that highlight the impact of the school and its community.

Weekly Discussion Highlights

Cross-Platform Influencer Analysis

Jenna Palek is a 27-year-old influencer known for her fun and authentic content. She’s active on TikTok (@jennapalek), where she posts fashion hauls, fitness tips, and personal vlogs, and on Instagram (@jennapalek), sharing lifestyle updates and sponsored content. She also hosts the Fun on Weekdays podcast, which has over 2.3 million downloads, where she discusses life, growth, and navigating your 20s.

Jenna tailors her content to each platform: on TikTok, she focuses on quick, trendy videos; on Instagram, she posts polished photos and personal moments; and on her podcast, she dives deeper into life lessons and interviews. Her content is consistently centered around fashion, fitness, and lifestyle, with a focus on authenticity. She also partners with brands like DIBS Beauty, which align well with her lifestyle brand and resonate with her audience.

Cross-Platform Advertising Campaign

I chose Dutch Bros for this campaign, creating ads for Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

  • Instagram: I used a vibrant, eye-catching image of a frozen drink with a fun, colorful background, matching Dutch Bros’ cheerful tone. The 1080x1080 px post is designed for the platform's aesthetic focus.

  • Facebook: This ad, sized 1200x628 px, includes more detailed text to highlight drink options, appealing to a broader audience. Facebook supports both images and text, offering space for clear calls to action.

  • TikTok: The ad (960x1280 px) is a dynamic video, perfect for TikTok’s focus on fast-moving, engaging content rather than static images.

For cost-effectiveness, I would use CPC advertising. Instagram and Facebook cost $0.50-$3.50 per click, while TikTok costs $0.10-$1.50 per click.

Why I Love SJMC Instagram Post and Reflection

Using the Ice Cream Method helped structure a strong caption for TXST SJMC’s Instagram, with a hook, body, and CTA that matched the university’s warm, inclusive tone. The main challenge was condensing meaningful experiences into 70–100 words while keeping it engaging. Overall, the final post successfully highlighted SJMC’s value and encouraged interaction, and reviewing peer posts showed a strong understanding of the school's voice.
