Background

About Katie Johnson

Katie Johnson * Katie.Johnson.2299@gmail.com * 918-314-4606 I am an energetic communications professional who genuinely enjoys working with people. I have experience in press releases, social media, newsletters, public speaking, website maintenance, event planning, and fundraising. I have worked with a variety of media including newspapers, television, magazines, billboards and radio on a local and state level. During the past few years at Har-Ber Village Museum, I have helped increase visitors through a small budget communications plan that encompassed not only print ads and press releases, but also appearances on morning television shows and by word of mouth. I helped plan, promote, and implement nine new events, resulting in more than visitors on special program days. I also helped establish a new membership program and saw museum membership jump from 11 members in 2011 to 44 members the following year and up to 123 members in 2013. Outside of work, I have served on several charity boards and have planned, executed, and hosted major events and large fundraising galas, procuring both live and silent auction items, selling tables and tickets, writing press releases, and generating corporate sponsorships. I also help other businesses increase their professionalism by offering my proofreading, editing, and writing talents. Although I do not shy away from speaking in front of audiences, I have no problem being the behind-the-scenes person. I work well with others in order to make my organization be the best it can be. I am looking for an opportunity to continue in communications, where I can use the knowledge I have in more than 10 years in the industry and where my personality will help build relationships both within and outside of the company. Specialties: Communication, social media, public speaking, editing, fundraising, networking, customer relationship building, event planning.
