Caitlin Barbieri

We worked together in Capital News Service, Ipad Jurnos and at the CT and Katie is consistently a reliable and responsible reporter. We worked together on a feature story about sexual assault on VCU campus and throughout the reporting and writing for that story, we worked as a team. On Election Day 2018 we spent over 12 hours together covering events of the day and there is no one I would have rather had by my side. Katie is a pleasure to work with and a great communicator. She is never afraid to take on a challenge and attacks every story with a positive attitude. Katie would be an excellent addition to any workplace.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie during at time at Her Campus at VCU. During our time there, I witnessed Katie's incredible work ethic, communication skills and talents - her writing was some of the best I had ever seen. She is a pleasure to work with - always having a positive attitude despite any bad circumstances. When Katie sets a goal - she achieves it. She is incredibly hard-working, compassionate and driven. I know that her future is incredibly bright - her natural talent for writing compelling pieces will be sure to impress anyone she meets - and I look forward to seeing her name in the bylines.

      I currently write copy and oversee the Victoria's Secret PINK Instagram and Tik Tok accounts. I meet with creative and marketing teams to discuss upcoming products, offers, events, and current events we want to highlight. I then create copy for captions and graphics to be posted on our Instagram, or text overlay and voiceover copy for Tik Toks, that adhere to the PINK voice and help get our messages across. I also handle In-Store Signage, working closely with my creative and marketing partners to write copy that adequately relays offer details, new product launches, or active campaigns and aligns to the brand voice we use in all of our other channels.

    • Copy Producer
      • Nov 2021 - Apr 2022

      As a copy producer, I primarily wrote offer copy for upcoming promotions and product releases. I attended meetings where these needs were discussed, then wrote copy that relayed the message and adjusted copy as needed as it went through various legal and creative channels. Then I input the copy in SalesForce to be published on the website and app.

      I worked as a sales associate at the Urban Outfitters located in Herald Square, which is the largest UO in the world. I worked the registers, maintained the floor, and advised fitting rooms. Towards the end of my time here, I worked in inventory and restocking, where I arrived to work early in the morning to count incoming products, tag them, and place them where they needed to be within the store.
