About Kieran Collins

I’m a driven senior at the University of Miami pursuing a B.B.A. in Marketing, with diverse experience across corporate marketing, field strategy, brand partnerships, and experiential design. My professional journey has included internships with industry leaders like PepsiCo and AEG, where I supported multi-million dollar brand activations, crafted pitch decks, and strengthened partner engagement through compelling storytelling and market analysis. Most recently, I worked on the launch of the District Six VR Experience in Cape Town, South Africa—an immersive museum exhibit using virtual reality to recreate a vibrant, now-lost community. I collaborated with local tech firms and heritage organizations to coordinate VR hardware logistics, draft partnership proposals, and promote the exhibit as a bridge between technology and cultural preservation. The project deepened my passion for purpose-driven marketing and showed me how storytelling, when paired with innovation, can spark education, empathy, and social impact. I bring a strong work ethic, resourcefulness, and assertiveness to every project, whether I’m managing logistics, developing strategy, or connecting with diverse audiences. I thrive in team settings but am just as effective working independently. Long-term, I aim to blend my interests in marketing and finance to drive impactful campaigns that are not only commercially successful, but also socially meaningful.
