I’ve done outreach and marketing work for the Department of Public Safety, where I create graphics, flyers, and messaging to engage students and raise awareness about programs and resources. That experience has helped me get comfortable communicating clearly and tailoring messages to different audiences. I’ve also worked with Parthenon Books, a local bookstore in downtown Syracuse, where I helped develop marketing strategies to attract customers and boost visibility. Both roles strengthened my outreach, communication, and creative marketing skills, which would translate well into pitching and promoting BUNKY Snacks to potential retailers.

I stay in touch regularly and make sure clients know I care about their success. I follow up, check in, and try to add value whenever I can, not just when it benefits me. Remembering small details and following through on what I promise helps build trust and keeps the relationship strong over time.

I would start by researching the retailer to understand their customer base and what kind of snack products they currently offer. Then I would tailor my pitch to show how BUNKY fits their audience, focusing on its protein-packed, crave-worthy appeal and clean ingredients. During the pitch, I would highlight how BUNKY gives shoppers a healthy, upgraded snack option that stands out from typical protein snacks. I would also mention how the brand’s fun, approachable image can help drive shelf interest and repeat purchases. After the initial pitch, I would follow up with samples or marketing materials and maintain communication to build a strong partnership.
