Sic’Em365
Through my role with Baylor Athletics, I developed a close working relationship with the writers at Sic’Em365.com. Through this relationship, I started working for them as a freelance photographer, mainly for soccer.
When it came time to work with a business in my PR Writing class in the Baylor Journalism department, it was a no brainer to work with Sic’Em365. Below is the backgrounder I wrote highlighting the company, followed by some photos of Baylor soccer used on their site.
