Associate Development Program

June - August 2019 • Cleveland, OH

What I liked

I liked that this program allowed me the opportunity to learn all different areas of the business. In my final semester of undergrad I was still unsure of what area of marketing I was most interested in and what I wanted my career to look like. This job allowed me to see different jobs, complete a variation of tasks, and gain general knowledge about the company. This ultimately resulted in me realizing that I was interested in advertising and then being offered a full time position in this department.

What I wish was different

Advice

I would tell someone who is interested in this position to be open to learning as much as possible throughout the 10 weeks. I had an idea of what department I wanted to end up working in within the first few weeks but that had changed by the end of the program. It's important to not close yourself off from any opportunities because it might end up being the job that fits you best.

What I liked

I was exposed to a lot of different aspects of the company. This ranged from advertising/media, technical, creative, sales, and strategy. Every aspect of running an agency was covered during this program. This benefited me GREATLY in terms of figuring out what I wanted to do moving forward at MPS and in my career in general. Getting familiar with the Amazon platform was also great!

What I wish was different

I wish the structure could have been a bit more organized. However, I have seen that this has improved greatly since I went through the program. It is good to see they are taking advice of past experiences! They truly do listen to EVERYONE'S feedback.

Advice

Be ready to learn A LOT. Going into my internship I did not know a whole lot about Amazon other than the obvious. There are so many different aspects of Amazon that you will learn and at times can be overwhelming. Take good notes and be ready to ask as many questions as possible!

What I liked

The Associate Development Program was an amazing program and really helped me figure out the career path I wanted to pursue. This program allowed me to learn many different aspects of marketing and the business at MPS. The ADP program gave me the opportunity to work with well known companies and gave me unbeatable experiences that I have taken forward with me in my career. Everyone at MPS was so nice and always eager to help out!

What I wish was different

Advice

Stay opened minded and try areas of the business that you don't think you would be interested. You might just find a career you love.

What I liked

I enjoyed this position at Marketplace Strategy because it gave me the ability to learn more than I could have imagined. "Always Be Learning" is one of the core values of MPS and they hold true to this. I was not only able to expand on what I learned at John Carroll University but also jump into a new and exciting industry, Amazon. The ADP program gave me the opportunity to learn all areas of the business which helped me to figure out what I truly wanted to do. The people at MPS are dedicated to teaching and guiding you towards success. I highly recommend applying to Marketplace Strategy!
