8. What’s an average day in the office for you like Julie ? I would say that I never have an “average” day part of the joys about my job is that every day is different, which keeps it super interesting. On a daily basis though, I correspond with key editors and stylists, plan events, oversee our social media and online outreach, attend network events and build strategic and genuine relationships and partnerships for Creative Recreation. I also help with the branding of Creative Recreation, implement new marketing initiatives, and lots of other fun things!

So here is a few sneak peaks on what’s to come this spring, as well as a few items that I will be using in our next few shoots because we Love Creative Recreation. Thanks a lot JULIE !
