Julia Ischinger

I recently graduated a semester early from the University of Pittsburgh in December 2025, where I majored in professional communication and digital media. I currently work two part-time positions that allow me to do what I'm passionate about - digital marketing and social media strategy. At TC Studios, a local gallery in Pittsburgh that also has creative lab memberships and serves as an event rental space, I'm their social media digital marketing manager. I was actually their first marketing hire, so I'm pretty much doing all of their marketing, which I love because I love the experience. Since starting there in December, I've implemented their social media strategy and the results have been very rewarding. I started their TikTok account in January, and when I last checked two weeks ago, we had already 22,000 TikTok viewers. On Instagram, I've had over 15,000 accounts reached in just 2 months, which is over 170% growth from before. I also manage their Google Ads and reach out to influencers for upcoming events to get more traction and help people know about the brand. My other remote position is for a tech company focused on hospitality hiring - it's very niche, but I'm doing all of their TikTok and Instagram digital marketing and tracking which strategies work best. Last summer, I had an amazing internship in London at WMA, a music and entertainment agency, where I helped edit short-form video content and come up with ideas for really big clients in the music industry like Queen, Elton John, Bonnie M, and Rita Ora. I actually have a TikTok that I edited on the Queen TikTok account, which I think is so cool. Working in a creative community at TC Studios has been great and really inspires me. I'm currently working on my own personal brand and starting a new website, with the goal of hopefully going full freelance and having my own social media management clients.
