MEDIA RELATIONS FOR KENSINGTON SOCCER CLUB
One of my primary functions as Communications Coordinator was to find ways to get Kensington Soccer Club on the news so that awareness could be spread about the club's mission to increase particpation numbers and find potential investors.
Under my management, Kensington Soccer Club received significantly much more media coverage within one year than it had gotten in previous years which aided in highlighting the meaningful impact KSC has in Philadelphia.
