Last Wednesday we hit a huge milestone here at Her Campus Media: we hired our fifth employee! After me, Annie, and Stephanie, Taylor Chartier came on as our Marketing Service Manager (and fourth employee) in May. Brittany Lewis just joined us as our Manager of Campus Development and fifth employee. Ever. How awesome is that?
Brittany graduated from Boston College this past spring, where she was the President of our Boston College branch (which btw was our #1 branch in terms of traffic).  Now as Manager of Campus Development, Brittany is tasked with recruiting new campus branches, managing our existing campus branches and increasing their penetration on each campus (aka the number of readers per campus). We are thrilled to have her officially on the Her Campus Team fulltime.Â
In order to celebrate her first day, we decided that the five of us should go out to dinner! Always the opportunistic marketer, Taylor hit up one of our newest clients, Savored, for a dinner suggestion.Â
Savored brings its members access to discounted pricing at some of fanciest and most popular restaurants in major cities across the United States. Currently Savored has insider pricing (read 30%+ percent off) at restaurants in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington D.C.Â
The way it works is this, you book a dinner reservation for $10 through Savored.com. When you go to your restaurant, you mention that you booked through Savored and they take 30% off your bill! It’s that simple. If you do the math quickly, you’ll see that you only have to spend $30 in order to make back the $10 that you paid for your reservation. After that, you just save money!
In Boston (because of really old stupid laws), restaurants aren’t allowed to discount alcohol. To make up for this, Savored gets you 40% off of all food at Boston restaurants but no discount on alcoholic drinks. We looked at the list of restaurants on Savored and decided upon Blu. The food was delicious. Like epicly delicious. Like want to keep eating until your stomach hurts and you won’t eat for days afterwards delicious.Â
Here are some pictures from our celebratory dinner! Don’t forget to check out Savored to save tons of $$ on your next fancy date (or even when your ‘rents come to visit)!
