Jeff Tuffner Jr.'s Linkedin Analytics

Most recently, I graduated from Temple University with a bachelor’s degree in communications studies. Within my studies, I immersed myself in varying areas of media and communications. While I found most of the areas interesting, I found the emerging forms of digital media to be a sticking point. Above all, it was social media’s ability to captivate people that I found the most engaging. To cater to my interests, I enrolled in several courses that looked at social media from different lenses to gain a comprehensive view. First, some courses interpreted media from a psychological and sociological angle. Whether it be studies on social media’s impact on political views or observations of media use in real-time, I was able to develop a critical understanding of how media influences people. Beyond this aspect, I later emerged myself into the creative side of media. Throughout my life, I have always had an admiration and respect for creativity. This stems from the behind-the-scenes workings of advertising to social media being a tool to connect people to brands through unique content and community engagement. Ultimately, this motivated me to add a minor in content creation to my studies. Within the minor, I exercised my creative juices all the while learning the ins and outs of the creative world. Persuasive writing and copywriting courses make engaging and persuasive content in ways that encourage action. While it comes in many sizes, the copywriting courses allowed me to make an argument in the simplest of forms. One of my favorite course experiences was social media marketing. Here I captured all things social media and how it can be leveraged as a marketing tool. Beyond my studies, I was able to gain an abundance of other valuable skills. Most notably, I worked part-time as an assembler and warehouse employee. While this job had no direct association with my media and communication interests, I did develop pivotal skills such as working in a team environment, becoming a better communicator, and learning the importance of organization. Using these skills and those I gathered along the way; I pride myself on being hard-working and motivated. Currently, I am seeking employment in Philadelphia and its surrounding areas. I am also open to remote work. I can be reached here on LinkedIn, or the email listed below! Email: JeffTuffner017@Gmail.com
