Clarke\u2019s position has her integrating promotions for the shows that air on the National Geographic Channel and NatGeo Wild with specific advertisers. So she might create a spot highlighting the latest blockbuster movie and the NatGeo show \u201cAlaska State Troopers\u201d by figuring out how to meld the two into one 10-second piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI like the creativity of that,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s challenging me because I not only have the freedom to write creatively about the shows, but I\u2019m challenged to put the brand in, as well. I love being able to work with editors and designers and production houses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her interest in television production goes back to the beginning of her Transylvania career, and she actively sought out internships that eventually led her to National Geographic. Her first summer she worked with a small production company in western Kentucky; after her sophomore year she interned at Kentucky\u2019s PBS affiliate; and before her senior year she landed an internship at Nickelodeon, working for the on-air promotions department. Another Transylvania graduate, Virginia Hamilton, also worked for Nickelodeon, and she and a few other coworkers kept in touch with Clarke during her job search. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause I had built a relationship with them, they were forwarding me other opportunities that they were hearing about,\u201d Clarke says. \u201cThe network Transylvania has\u2014that\u2019s how I got these internships that led me to the job here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And with her foot firmly in the door, Clarke expects to have a long career in television, whether that\u2019s advertising, promotions, editing, or something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI just knew that I wanted to be in television production,\u201d she says. \u201cI didn\u2019t know whether that was going to be behind the camera or in front of the camera. National Geographic is a very relaxed and open company, and I\u2019m able to work with people from multiple departments, so who knows where I\u2019ll end up next?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for someday scratching the acting itch?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s one of those dreams I have in the back of my head, but I\u2019m still really interested in what I\u2019m doing now,\u201d she says. \u201cI don\u2019t know if it will happen in the future. It\u2019d be awesome if it did\u2014whether it\u2019d be Broadway or a television show or a movie\u2014I\u2019d love to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
