At Fixate, I have the opportunity to develop the skills I will need to be successful after graduation, including various marketing tools that are in high demand by employers. Much of the work is fueled by both my interests and suggestions, which they have consistently respected. Their business structure offers plenty of flexibility around a school schedule.

Advice
Fixate is a great place for the technically-minded individual who wants to work in a STEM-adjacent field. Although my major is communication, I appreciate the exposure I've had to the tech industry. While interning for Fixate, don't be afraid to advocate for yourself; they are very willing to provide you with the tools and support you need to be successful.

Digital Marketing Intern
May 2020 - August 2021 • Golden, CO
What I liked
Fixate gave me every opportunity to learn something new. They offered lots of flexibility and genuine feedback, and allowed me to experiment in the realms of social media, design, planning and video production. Everyone from the full-time staff to the writers and clients have been a pleasure to work with and learn from.
What I wish was different
I started this internship in the midst of COVID, but it was always designed to operate remotely. Remote flexibility has numerous benefits, but there were times when I wished I could see my coworkers more often. That being said, we all made time for regular Zoom meetings and the occasional in-person breakfast.
Advice
I would recommend this experience to anyone with an interest in technology and marketing. While it can certainly cater towards many interests, Fixate's clients are primarily technical firms, some of whom have products that I did not understand in the slightest. This was an awesome challenge to apply some of my knowledge in computer science to a different setting, but it may be daunting or less exciting to some. Work with Fixate if you want to build your own schedule and work in a dynamic setting.
