Kristy Nieboer, student at Enactus Wilfrid Laurier University has joined one of our most dynamic donors – College Pro. Earlier this year, Kristy was recruited by College Pro as the company’s very first Social Media and Marketing Intern.
College Pro provides developing entrepreneurs with the opportunity to learn about business, management and leadership in a real-world setting. Kristy came across this opportunity on the Enactus Canada Talent Community after connecting with her team’s Student Success Ambassador to find out about opportunities in marketing for Enactus students.
Every day at College Pro presents Kristy with new and exciting challenges that allow her to express her creativity and hone her skills in marketing. Kristy regularly posts on multiple social media spaces for College Pro and is very excited to have creative licence when it comes to social media platforms. She also writes articles for the company blog and compiles testimonials from College Pro franchisees that she uses to showcase the company’s brand and promote the organization’s culture.
In addition to her daily tasks, Kristy has also had opportunities to connect with College Pro franchisees in the field. Through these visits, she has been able to collect pictures, videos and stories that bring her social media posts to life. She had the unique opportunity to capture College Pro’s “work hard, play hard” culture in action as she collected video footage and photos for future media work. Kristy was also excited to develop a Facebook contest for College Pro franchise owners.
The Social Media and Marketing internship at College Pro comes with a lot of responsibility and trust which makes the organization different than any other she has worked with before. “What I’ve learned from College Pro through meeting the franchisees and working in the office is that it takes a certain type of person to work with College Pro. It shapes people into the best possible business person they can be.”
