Employee Spotlight: Getting to Know Celine Kerik, our Marketing and PR Manager  

Step into the spotlight with us as we shine a light on Celine Kerik, our Marketing and PR Manager at Industrial Repair Service. We’ll dive deeper into her favorite responsibilities, the challenges of the job, and her advice for future marketers and PR professionals.  

Meet Celine!   

What have you enjoyed about working at Industrial Repair Service so far? 

Industrial Repair Service has an amazing group of people working for them, and they make me feel so welcome when I visit our HQ. Our small marketing team supports each other in all our endeavors, and I really enjoy learning something new about manufacturing industries every day through blog writing and researching.  

What are your favorite tasks and responsibilities in all that you do? 

Working on eBlasts is one of my favorite responsibilities, as it allows me to be creative and display us as a company in a visual aesthetic. I also love working on news releases and press advisories because it shows the public all the amazing charity work we do for the community.  

What challenges you the most at work? 

What challenges me most is learning how to compute technical and complex information about what we do here and market it in a way that’s easy to understand. I came from a background where I had only briefly worked with manufacturing and industrial work before, so this is very new to me, but I enjoy expanding my horizons.  

What’s one thing that instantly makes any day better?  

I’m very close to my family, so spending even just a minute with them on a bad day instantly makes my day better! Also, a Dunkin’ iced coffee (but now that’s two things 😉). 

What goals do you have for your career in 2025? 

A goal I’d like to work on in 2025 is to master graphic design. That could help me significantly in aspects related to digital marketing and advertising.  

How do you deal with work stress? What’s your favorite way to decompress? 

While I work out often throughout the week, if I am feeling particularly stressed, a yoga class is a must. Pair that with a good bath, a book, and a sweet treat, and I am decompressed! 

What advice would you give to someone trying to get into your field? 

Network, network, network! PR and marketing are not just about what you can do, but it’s so much about who you know. Attend local events and get involved in work that may not be fiscally motivating, but it could impact your future career immensely from who you meet.  

We hope you enjoyed getting to know Celine a little better, and we can’t wait to share next month’s spotlight with you. Stay tuned!
