Hi, I'm Jack Graefe, a recent Kansas State University graduate with a passion for public relations, branding, and storytelling. I've always enjoyed finding creative ways to connect people with brands, and my experience as both a bartender and marketing intern has given me a unique perspective on building connections with different audiences. Whether I'm researching a brand, designing promotional materials, or developing new ideas, I enjoy combining creativity with strategy to create successful marketing campaigns. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, following sports, and making music.

Internship & Projects
Throughout my internship at World Wide Alcohol, I focused primarily on Pendleton Whiskey. I conducted market research for both Pendleton and World Wide Alcohol in preparation for Pendleton's end-of-summer tasting pop-up at the Central Kansas Free Fair. Using that research to inform my creative decisions, I designed promotional signage and other branded marketing materials that aligned with Pendleton Whiskey's visual identity and event goals. One of the most valuable parts of the internship was learning to combine research with graphic design. Rather than relying on assumptions, I used my research to guide each design decision, which challenged me to think more strategically and strengthened both my creative process and the final product.
