Hello City Paper community!
My name is Sareena Askenazi and I am thrilled to be joining the sales and marketing team at City Paper Company as a summer intern!
Growing up here in Birmingham, I've always had an appreciation for the unique spirit of the city. Joining the City Paper team, a company based right here in Birmingham for over 125 years, truly feels like a full circle moment.
Currently, I am pursuing a degree in Merchandising and Entrepreneurship at Indiana University in Bloomington where I have been learning about everything from consumer behavior, to the importance of great brand development, and the necessary logistics to run a business. With a knack for both creativity and technology, working with a promotional packaging supplier is a great way to combine my two interests. I am extremely excited to put my classroom knowledge and prior skills into play here at City Paper by assisting in sourcing promotional products and learning about strategic marketing strategies.
Outside of the City Paper office you can often find me attending workout classes, exploring menus at local restaurants, completing various tasks as Vice President of my sorority, and traveling to see family around the country.
Now that the introduction is out of the way, I wanted to express my excitement for my time here at CPC, one specific task of mine in particular, being regular blog posts where I will share information regarding innovative possibilities for your business, updates from the office, and emerging trends in the product industry.
Here’s to a summer full of growth and learning, I cannot wait to share my insights with you all!
Sincerely,
Sareena
