This is a post by the founders of Hofssi Chocolates, Linda Hofmeister and Susan Rossi. SPARQ met them at a Lamorinda Business Women (LaBWo) networking meeting and fell in love with their passion…chocolate!
At the same time, we were fortunate enough to be contacted by Julia Lauer, a first-year student at the University of Michigan looking for a summer internship.
And just like that, SPARQ worked matchmaking magic and Julia went to work to help Hofssi Chocolates in specific marketing tasks, from photography to social media.
We asked Linda and Susan to comment on Julia’s work…and we wanted to share the glowing review with you.
Thank you, Linda, Susan, and Julia!
It has been wonderful to have Sparq Marketing’s intern Julia Lauer working with us this summer. She has been invaluable getting us up to date on our Facebook Page and helping us to learn about using Instagram. Julia is also helping us to completely revamp our website to include a shopping cart. We started our first meeting with taking photos of a few of our products. Julia had a fun vision and pulled off a successful photo shoot of gorgeous photos, which gave us a model from which to build in our future photo sessions.
We are learning from Julia how to work with social media and how important it can be. She has given us concrete steps for our goal of increasing our presence.
In creating our website, Julia always knows the right questions to ask and knows the issues that may arise. She is quick at our meetings to show us any step we need to learn for managing our website. She consistently and timelessly makes her own meticulous digital notes throughout any meeting regarding any future action steps. She is incredibly mature and self-directed! She always returns with the tasks completed and the questions answered regarding building new content in our website platform. Julia was quick to learn Weebly, our website platform, and could maneuver around the editing almost instantaneously like a pro!
We are so thankful to Alison Stripling of Sparq Marketing for giving us the opportunity to work with Julia. Julia has been extremely professional and knowledgable. If we did not know Julia was a young college student, we would assume she had many more years of experience. The quality of the young intern is surely a reflection of the quality of Sparq Marketing. Alison’s ability to attract the best and brightest is crystal clear.
Thank you so much Alison, Julia and the Sparq Marketing team!
