ZipsGuide "Made in the 330 Monday" Holiday Market Team
Student Event Leads
Taylor Loftin is a senior Public Relations major who runs a multimedia platform for creatives called Platinum22 . Taylor's first experience with ZipsGuide was in PR Writing, where she researched and wrote a feature on 224 Creations. For the market, you'll see Taylor's work and ideas across multiple areas of coordination and specifically in the scavenger hunt, which she planned and designed. Taylor also created a brand guide for ZipsGuide that has been used for the market campaign, but will be even more instrumental in the future.
Thank you Taylor!
Timara is a senior Public Relations major who first connected with ZipsGuide this past summer in Public Relations Publications, where she created a mini-zine on small businesses in downtown, particularly beauty brands. Timara works with Serve Akron, and helped build a partnership between Serve Akron and ZipsGuide to plan the Campus Cupboard Drive and Card Making Tables. Timara also recruited and is coordinating all of the volunteers you see at today's Market.
Thank you Timara!
Elizabeth is a post-baccalaureate student, planning to start her masters in the near future, who joined ZipsGuide this past summer in Public Relations Publications, where she created a mini-zine that featured Akron Pride. For the market, you'll see Beths' work and ideas in every vendor's table signs, and in multiple areas of coordination including the doorprize raffle and welcome table.
Thank you Beth!
