As a Digital Marketing & Communications Intern with the Athens CVB, I had the opportunity to help promote the city of Athens as a destination for travel, events, and tourism—blending creativity with strategy to elevate its digital presence.

I wrote blog content that highlighted everything from local events and hidden gems to food spots and seasonal activities, helping position Athens as a vibrant and welcoming community. Each post was designed to engage both locals and out-of-town visitors, written with a tone that was friendly, informative, and true to the city’s personality.

I also created custom graphics and video content using Canva, all tailored to support key marketing initiatives and drive engagement across social media and the CVB’s website. Working alongside the communications team, I contributed to social media planning, content scheduling, and community engagement, helping build brand consistency and increase visibility.

This role gave me hands-on experience in destination marketing, strengthened my content creation and visual storytelling skills, and deepened my understanding of how strategic communications can spark curiosity and connection—right here in my college town.
