This week the MILLIE team was here, there and everywhere! We pitched MILLIE at the Elmspring Rush Event in Chicago, letting even more people know about MILLIE. We also attended another awesome Hiring Our Heroes event at Camp Lejeune where we got to interact with some White House VIPs.

We’ve included links (for easy sharing), the copy for the posts (in case you’ve already used up all your creative juices today), the hashtags (for optimal millennial reach) and the MILLIE logos and branding information (in case you want to feature us on your front page or something).

If you’re one of our partners, please send us what’s been happening in your world lately by emailing me at alexis@gomillie.com.
