Emily
Wenger
Communications Strategist, M.A.
Based in Colorado
As a marketing and communications specialist, I develop and execute strategic communications campaigns, create graphics, edit news releases, develop social media campaigns, and shoot and edit video. As a recent graduate of the Colorado State University Masters in Communication and Media Management Program, I advanced my skills and developed comprehensive communications plans for clients throughout the U.S.
As both a journalist and communications specialist I created successful social media strategies to engage our audience and professionally interact on our platforms. But mostly, I love learning about people — especially those whose voices may not always be heard — and helping tell their stories.
​
One threat I see to communicators is stagnation, as we are experts in a constantly shifting industry. I work consistently to avoid stagnation through listening to my communities and monitoring ongoing movement in the marketing and communication industry.
