I’d like to congratulate artist Catherine Roberts on her new job as Brand Developer with Showcase Marketing!
Catherine the student
Catherine went from participating in our ART SLAM LIVE™ Ad Design Course (created by Greenville Technical University’s Ad Design staff)…
…To WINING the challenge and internship with Showcase Marketing…
…to LANDING a Full Time job as a Brand Developer with Showcase.
Below is how Chad McMillan, Vice President of the company announced it:
“Our creative team has been in search of an incredible designer to add to the team and relieve workload in the back for some time now. We have interviewed and worked with COUNTLESS

individuals, but no one really stood out and fit the profile of exactly what we needed…until Catherine came along. As you know, she won the ArtSlam competition hosted by Greenville Tech that was sponsored by Tony Snipes (ArtSlam Founder) and Showcase this past year. Her designs were by far the best of the competition. As a result, her classes were paid for by the school and she was awarded an apprenticeship position with us. She’s been here part time (8-10 hours a week) for the past 3 months and she has demonstrated that she DEFINITELY fits here both creatively AND culturally. We have been blessed to have her here at Showcase and couldn’t imagine a better fit with the team.
So, last week we extended an offer for her to come on full time with us after she graduates next month and I’m happy to let you all know that she has accepted and begins full-time employment Monday, June 4. So, please let her know how excited you are to have her here. Excited to see how this year is shaping up for all of us!
Catherine's winning design.
Congratulations Catherine! Welcome aboard.”
Great job, Catherine! We are both proud of you and excited with you concerning the new opportunity!
