In-Depth E-Mail Newsletter
Brebeuf Jesuit’s In-Depth e-newsletter goes out to faculty/staff, students, and families each Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Throughout the work week, my boss Mike Higginbotham and I would build the message with news we received from the wider school community. I compiled and copyedited each blurb for grammar, mechanics, and organization to ensure that each newsletter that was timely, concise, and easy to read. I also ensured a unified brand voice among all of the blurbs and scheduled the message to go out on time each week.
