AEMMP Records - Chicago, IL

AEMMP Records is Columbia College Chicago’s student run record label. 

I worked as the Social Media Manager, running all the social media profiles for AEMMP Rock’s side of the web. Through this, I help run the Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and help spread updates through out our classes.

On days that shows were not booked, I'd help write copy to schedule across Facebook and Twitter, and also ran monthly contests. I also coded the Tumblr page and began to cycle news and contests onto that page for a wider reach.

These different responsibilities covered a multitude of formats including Microsoft Word and Excel, Theater Manager for ticket sales, and different creative softwares to create signage.
