Our NeboCAPS Business & Media Production Class is thrilled to be working with several community clients this semester. One current client is Gluten Free Heaven, a local baking mix and gluten-free supply company. Students are working to improve the company's social media presence, redesign the product packaging under the mentorship of Temkin and rebrand the company with an emphasis on delicious, enticing, and affordable everyday baking mixes.
Students have been working hand in hand with Lydia McInnis, the social media manager for Gluten-Free Heaven to align the project with their brand and audience. Students have been researching local and national gluten-free mix competitors and working to compile images of beautiful gluten-free food photography. They have also been designing a new mylar bag for the product packaging and learning the ins and outs of Amazon and retail sales.
Mrs. Ewell's Business & Media Production CAPS students have tasted several products, like brownies, cake, and bread - all of which were truly delicious and tasted like a traditional product. WOW! One of her students was also recently diagnosed as gluten intolerant so this project has a real personal impact.
Thank you so much to Gluten Free Heaven and Lydia McInnis for their mentorship and willingness to give our NeboCAPS students real-world experiences and professional growth in education!
