From California to Connecticut, and a few states in between, our distributed team is based in several different locations from coast to coast. Since cred went fully remote earlier this year, we rolled out our new team trips to give employees an opportunity to spend more time with their teams in person.
cred prioritizes making a positive impact within society, whether that be through conferences and events, speaking engagements, or giving back. In honor of March being Women’s History Month, credService committed to supporting a women-focused organization for our first effort of the year. We spent the month collecting donations for the Women’s Daytime Drop-in Center which provides services to Berkeley, Albany, and Emeryville families.
Five years is a huge milestone for many life events, and yesterday cred turned 5 years old (on 5/5/20, our golden birthday!).
Five years in and, just as our CEO Caitlin Bartley shared on our last birthday, as we grow, our why remains the same: We believe that bringing knowledgeable, passionate speakers to engaged audiences builds awareness and excitement for you and your brand.
Since 5 years is such an important milestone, we wanted to stop and reflect on some of the biggest moments and accomplishments from our first half-decade.
While COVID-19 is certainly affecting daily lives, entire industries, and the economy as a whole, we at cred are very optimistic this will pass, and are looking forward to strong and busy summer and fall event seasons. We’ve pulled together a quick list of how event organizers can handle multiple event postponements across industries and how to best navigate these uncertain times.
As 2019 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the journey cred has traveled along this year. We maintain our focus on helping companies build thought leadership through events, and this past year we made considerable progress in our efforts to do just that.
Our journey is filled with different milestones—from those about learning, losses, and growth, to perseverance, partnerships, and successes. 2019 has taught us so much and we are full of gratitude.
Here at cred, we've experienced a lot of growth, and our intern program is no different. This summer, we're welcoming three new interns to support our speaker and event management teams.
Up first is Caraline Pham, who will be interning with one of our speaker management teams. A native from Boston and rising senior at The University of Wisconsin-Madison, Caraline is excited to learn more about the PR industry and work with an array of clients.
Get to learn more about Caraline in the full interview below.
cred: Where are you going to school and what are you studying? Why did you choose to study that subject?
Caraline Pham: I am a rising senior at The University of Wisconsin-Madison (go badgers!). I’m studying strategic communication, which is housed in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. I am also earning certificates (UW Madison’s equivalent of minors) in business and digital studies.
I’ve always been interested in different forms of communication and how to use them effectively and everything I am studying has let me deep dive into that!
cred: Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
CP: I am from Boston, so being on the other side of the country is definitely a big change, but I absolutely love it! I love doing hot yoga and a good charcuterie board. On the weekends you can find me trying new restaurants or spending time with my friends
cred: What do you want to achieve while interning at cred?
CP: I am excited to gain more experience in the PR industry and work with an array of different clients. I am looking forward to learning more about speaker management and hope to learn the ins and outs of how to find an event that a speaker is excited to be involved in and the event is excited to have!
cred: If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life what would it be?
CP: Sushi (I know it doesn’t really seem like a breakfast food, but I wouldn’t rule it out)
cred: Can you give us one interesting fact about yourself?
CP: I used to pole vault!
cred: What is one thing you want to accomplish in the next five years?
CP: I would love to move to California and make San Francisco my home!
