PR Cases and Problems Real Life Client


This semester my class held a client involved in the Special Olympics. The client was the Bloomsburg Bocce Bash. For a little background the Bocce Bash event is held every fall semester and it’s involved with the Special Olympics. Teams from all over the east coast come to Bloomsburg University to play bocce ball. Each team consists of players with mental disabilities and they all play during this day event filled with activities for them and their families.

We called ourselves the Bocce Ballers our slogan was “Let’s Ball Out for Special Olympics.” We created a new logo and printed that on every flyer and social media outlet.

My class chose this client due to their need of publicity and money for more bocce courts in order to expand the tournament to accommodate more teams. We rose in total over $1500.00 through an on campus bocce tournament, Indiegogo, canning, bake sales, and advertising through social media outlets.

Columbia Montour Bicentennial

The final Timeline Display was 46 inches wide and 22 inches tall. The final Before and After Display was 11 inches wide and 20 inches tall. My project was to create a display for the Columbia Montour Bicentennial at the Chamber of Commerce booth on March 22-23 rd . For two weeks a researched Columbia and Montour Counties history of businesses by contacting and visiting the local historical societies and searching the internet for public data. Once I collected all the pictures and data I needed I decided to display them as a Timeline, as well as, a Before and After presentation. I created these displays on Publisher and then had them sent to a printer for finalization on a thick poster board.

My College Job

I currently hold a position as a cashier at the Bloomsburg University Store. I began this job fall of my junior year and since then I have learned so much. The people I work with are very insightful in many different ways, whether it is helping me through my college studies or giving me advice for my future, they are always there. During my employment I have experienced how they advertise and promote the store through flyers, mailings, and their website. The multiple skills I observe and learn have helped me through many of my PR classes and will continue to guide me through my career. Also, this job has been an opportunity that has grown my knowledge in time management, responsibility, and personal character. I appreciate this job not only for the financial assistance through school, but for the reward of learning these skills that will eventually benefit me in the workforce, as well as, the relationships I have gained.

Through the past three years I have grown from the girl graduating high school to a graduate of college. The time seemed to move so fast while attending classes and doing everything I could in order to build my resume and be a professional upon graduation. It will be different not having that need to go to a class or report to an ambassador event, but I know that whatever the future holds I will be prepared and put my best foot forward to achieve my goals. Thank you Bloomsburg and all the people I have met through the years you have made a great difference in my life I will always cherish my experiences I had on the beautiful campus.
