Welcome Marketicity Summer Interns 2010




As of today, we're extremely proud to have both of our summer interns in house and working with the Marketicity team. Gabriele Bladdick, a senior majoring in public relations at Valparaiso University, joined us May 17 and is working on a variety of marketing communications projects. Gabby is president of Valpo's chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America and has already delivered great work in her brief time at Marketicity. We've determined she may also quite possibly be the biggest St. Louis Blues fan in the history of the franchise.

Our second intern, Jacob King, joined us today. Jacob is a native of Louisiana and is pursuing his master's in computer systems technology at Louisiana State University - Shreveport. In addition to his Web design skills, Jacob is proficient in graphic design. It's great having him in the office and he's already getting his feet wet becoming familiar with several client projects. Jacob is eager to experience life in the St. Louis area this summer and ready to become a Cardinals fan (which is a mandatory requirement for working at Marketicity).

Welcome Gabby and Jacob...
