Kimmy Laposky, BFA '10 Graphic Designer at Godfather's Pizza, Inc. in Omaha, NE www.godfathers.comHigh School: Washington HS in Cherokee, IA
What does the company do? We are the national headquarters for the Godfather's Pizza brand. The marketing department ensures that our brand standards are being upheld by our franchise owners by making sure that each customer is given the true Godfather's Pizza experience.
What does the graduate do? I collaborate with our marketing team and franchise owners to design an array of projects ranging from boxtoppers and menuboards to brand development such as promotional logos, pizza box concepts, and gift cards.
Clients: Since we are an in-house graphics department for a specific brand, we create work for our franchises and internally for the office. We also have a partnership with Boys Town in order to help increase awareness of their efforts, we advertise their national hotline number on our pizza boxes.
Comments: Do it!
