Project feedback
My collaboration with Four Star Mushrooms has been an exceptionally rewarding experience. The team was so considerate and easy to work with. One thing that stood out for me was the given opportunity to have design freedom. This enhanced the overall working experience for me because they not only were receptive to changes but also gave us the opportunity to try different new ideas to make their website better functional for its users. If given the opportunity, I would any day be willing to work with them again. Overall, this digital asset assessment was a learning experience and learnt so much from my teammates. Basically, this is what I needed to boost my confidence. Totally worth it.

Gourmet Mushrooms: A Nutritional Focused Consumer Campaign

The goal of this project is to create a nutritional focused consumer campaign featuring gourmet mushrooms targeting one or more demographic personas that incorporate the Four Star Mushrooms brand and values. The target personas include vegan/vegetarian, foodie, health conscious, senior citizen, and corporate food service. The campaign should include health and dietary benefits for individual mushroom varieties (i.e. lion's mane, oyster, etc.) citing evidence based research (when possible) or noted otherwise. The content would be used on the website, social media channels (developed campaigns) and as individual product information.

Four Star Mushrooms Grocery Store Launch (INTERN: Digital Marketing)

Seeking a digital marketing intern who can develop a consumer product launch into the grocery store market in the Chicagoland area. Specific grocers are selected. This effort is to drive consumer traffic to those grocers to purchase our product. This will involve leveraging our existing digital assets to execute and to establish new digital assets/channels we have not yet utilized (i.e. You Tube, TikTok). Effort will include researching/learning the current grocery store market in the Chicagoland area and the differences with our grocer partners. Developing a marketing plan for the launch of our product on the shelves of these grocers that educates and motivates target personas to purchase our product, will rapidly lead to executing that plan and tracking the success of the launch. Conducting a simple and manageable plan that is achievable with existing resources will require a "lean" and creative approach.

Website feature to upload User content

It was not clear if your project was currently open. I'm referring to what shows starting on 10/27/23. I can go into greater detail if the project is open and we would be considered. In short, we want to add a feature on our website where end users can upload an image of something they created (a meal with mushrooms), add option recipe, select a category and add optional user image/name. This would go to a gallery on our site, but could be used to push to social media. We would want to give the User the ability to push their post through their social channels as well to establish a viral impact.
