Big Brothers Big Sisters
We partnered with Big Brothers, Big Sisters to encourage young people to consider creative occupations. We hosted an evening where 15 “little” brothers and sisters along with their “big” counterparts came into the office where we talked about how we started our business and what we do here. We had the students create a whiteboard video of their own and showed them how we manage the online presence for a popular NFL player.
We had the opportunity to work with Big Brothers, Big Sisters on a program called “Consider a Creative Career.” 15 “little” brothers and sisters along with their “big” counterparts came into the office where we talked about how we started our business and what we do here. Then we split the students into two groups. The first group worked with Ignacio on creating a whiteboard video.
Each student was asked to draw something that was meaningful to them about the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program and we captured their drawings and combined them in the video.
The second group talked with Shawn and looked at the website we created for a popular football player. Shawn talked about how we created the site, how we maintain it and also how we integrate the site with various social media platforms. The groups then swapped stations so that everyone had an opportunity to engage in both activities. It was a wonderful experience and all the kids who participated were an absolute pleasure to work with—they asked smart questions and were very engaged.
