Dayanna Peek's Resume
Work Sample
The work sample attached above is a writing sample created for the course ENC3252 (Writing for Strategic Communication). This course focuses on preparing the future generations of communicators to write effectively and hone their skills on thinking creatively.
The work above details a campaign that I created for Hennessy that elaborates on a native advertising campaign they could employ to promote their brand. Native advertising refers to a form of paid advertisement where the content is cohesive with the page/site/platform in which it appears. The paper focuses on a collaboration with the widely known rapper Future. In this collaboration, the Hennessy marketing team would develop lyrics for a hook in a new Future song called "Henny in My Cup". The club ready song would promote people to purchase the liquor as Future glamorizes it throughout the song and through the music video and promotional materials (photoshoots and cover art) that Hennessy would cover.
I decided to attach the assignment above due to the creative approach I took in designing this campaign. I created the lyrics that Future would implement in his song "Henny in My Cup" and I ensured that the lyrics would represent the current branding/image of Future while simultaneously promoting Hennessy. Furthermore, I detailed the edited images/video screencap and social media plan that would accompany the release of the song. The images all include Future handling a bottle of Hennessy while tagging the brand in the caption and labeling the image as a paid advertisement. I think that this work sample highlights my ability to understand youth culture and create a bridge between corporations and artistry.
