Kristen Pittenger’s Summary

I am a marketing coordinator for DataSync (http://www.datasyncsuite.com). My main duties here include: online marketing, social media, copywriting, writing/managing the blog, and strategic research.

I was formerly a marketing intern with SDN Communications where my tasks included: event coordinating, copywriting, some graphic design, and other miscellaneous duties.

Before SDN, I was an Account Planning and Research intern at Lawrence and Schiller. Main projects there included: ghost writing executive team blogs as well as working on social media monitoring and analyzing digital strategy insights for South Dakota tourism. Duties for this task include gathering data and writing a monthly report, analyzing my findings. Other projects included: organizing focus groups, ad hoc secondary research, preparing and analyzing surveys, and consumer intercepts as well as occasionally writing press releases for the PR team, or working with other teams as necessary.
