CEL:&＃160;Who is your client and what made you interested in working with them? Halpern:&＃160;I am consulting with a startup at T-REX, called&＃160;Givable. Givable is a micro-giving platform that makes charitable donations simple with daily, engaging emails. I really love Givable&＃8217;s mission to make charitable giving more accessible and believe they have an innovative way to do so. Click here&＃160;to learn more (this is definitely a shameless plug). Our consulting project is to create a marketing strategy to attract more users. As someone who values community involvement and utilizing creative problem solving to build awareness, this project fits me perfectly. CEL:&＃160;How does this class help you with your future aspirations? Halpern:&＃160;In the future, I hope to work in a marketing role, assisting and consulting&＃160;clients strategically. I like the fast-paced and innovative culture that comes with client work. So, working with Givable to create a marketing strategy is really right up my alley. This summer I am interning at Facebook in the Global Marketing Solutions department to help clients optimize their advertising on Facebook platforms. I will be working on a team conducting research to better understand best digital marketing practices for clients. My CELect project involved extensively researching the industry, company, and trends&＃160;to create a highly implementable plan and I think that experience will help me at Facebook. &＃160;This work has provided me with great group experience to speak about in interviews and helps me apply my knowledge from classes and internships in a very real-world way. CEL:&＃160;How does this experience differ from other classes? Halpern:&＃160;Well first of all, there are no classes, but there still are deliverables! Everything is on our own time which helps build time management skills and autonomous deadline planning. Second, I love that the class works with a client and provides real-world exposure to consulting projects. My other classes have built a basis for my business knowledge and CELect is letting me apply what I have learned to create impact in the local St. Louis community. CEL:&＃160;What advice would you give to students interested in CELect? Halpern:&＃160;I think this is a great program if you want to try a hybrid role between starting your own company and consulting others to create business success. If you want a better grasp on the St. Louis startup eco-system and real-world consulting experience, CELect is a great program for you. While working on the project, I would say it is important to keep an open mind to potential solutions and take the time to understand every alternative. Lastly, have fun with it. Consulting projects are a time for you to apply what you know, think outside of the box, and innovate which is a really great experience. Related blog post.
