Travel Chicks: Web-Based Media Development
Want to learn the secret of getting airline tickets for the price of a sandwich? Then this is the panel for you! I aim to encourage young women looking to turn their hobbies into an actual career in journalism and media; it’s completely possible!
During my internship for Travel Chicks, a web-based start-up travel company for women, I learned that having excellent writing skills and a good handle on social media can really give you a leg-up in the world of online marketing and development.
My talk will explore how running a “branded” social media campaign differs from that of a personal one, how to blog with Google in mind, what words to NEVER use if you want copy-editors not to hate you, and how to snag a position that you might not even feel qualified for (as well as some tricks of the trade from a certified travel specialist).
