Enterprise Communication Intern
During my time at AutoZone, I served in two different roles. The first focused on internal communications, and the second on community relations. During my time, I assisted in community grant assessments, corporate funding alignment, and media relations with sponsorships.
Additionally, I created press kits, redesigned internal branding, and developed media plans that increased LinkedIn followers by 75% and engagement by 87% using data analytics and KPIs. My day-to-day focus was on talent marketing storytelling, grant writing, and crafting Corporate Social Responsibility/Environmental Social and Governance reports, including the 2019 and 2020 editions.
