Marketing and Public Relations
Sunset Foods is a neighborhood supermarket located on the Northshore of Chicago. It has four locations: Highland Park, Libertyville, Long Grove, and Northbrook. As a dietetic intern, I worked in the marketing department to promote the many nutritious foods Sunset has to offer. I did this by conducting personalized grocery store tours, developing an informational video, and writing for the Sunset Foods blog.
Sunset carries a wide variety of foods including many ethnic brands and specialty health and organic foods. The Meat and Fish departments offer the finest cuts and our Produce department carries the freshest assortment of seasonal fruits and vegetables. A popular stop for busy moms and professionals, the Deli is chock-full of pre-cooked meals, exotic salads and other tasty dishes.
