OBU students assist Tecumseh Chamber of Commerce with digital marketing
Submitted/OBU
Marketing students from Oklahoma Baptist University were able to help Tecumseh Chamber of Commerce with their digital marketing through a micro-internship.
Three students, Dakota Jones, Lydia Birkes, and Robert Lolofie, were part of an Internet and Digital Marketing class taught by Dr. Daryl Green. Students worked with the Tecumseh Chamber of Commerce, which is a non-profit organization that provides support and resources for community businesses in the Tecumseh area.
Students teamed up and worked with Executive Director Leslie Merritt to create a strong digital presence, as well as creating awareness of the chamber for the younger generation. The students were able to accomplish these goals by providing social media posts that showed Tecumseh Chamber’s brand and by creating an ad campaign. With these posts and ads, the students were able to create awareness for their client.
