Jumping in Head first

Today was my first time really getting "my feet wet". . . in all reality it felt like jumping in head first. We are currently getting around for our job fair this weekend and we needed to get some signage up a ready to go. To get familiar with illustrator and photoshop it was my duty today to create a new "up" arrow directional sign and work on getting our available job description boards changed and ready to go.

Who knew that making an up arrow could be so challenging. After sitting in the office for 1 hour by myself everyone else in my department came back from lunch and gave me a crash course in about 10 minutes. I felt a little defeated by photoshop today but will not give up.

But maybe I should get you up today. The Lugnuts are going through quite a bit of changes right now. On Monday we announced that the naming rights to our stadium have changed from "Oldsmobile Park" to "Cooley Law School Stadium". After experiencing my very first LIVE press conference, I learned first hand how much people really do not like change. Although I believe this is a great thing for the community I know it will take sometime for people to see that we will still keep our heritage and still be the same Lugnuts they love.

What do you guys think of the name change???


GOOOOOO NNUTTSS!!

Marking a New Adventure

This whole blogging thing is very new to me and really I was quite lost when I first started. Trying to find a topic that I could write about a few times a week that I had that much passion for was harder than I thought.

After recently receiving the opportunity of my dreams to become a Marketing Intern for a local sports team, The Lansing Lugnuts, I decided this is what I will blog about. During the next 7 months I will take you through my experiences as they happen. The everyday in the office, working home games, away games, and most importantly the overall experience I will gain. As I will take these experiences along with me as building blocks to my future in sports marketing.

As I am reminded daily, by the lovely staff, this is the calm before the storm . . . only 45 days until opening day. GOOOOOOO NNUUUTTS!!!
