What I liked
I absolutely loved my internship experience. It was a casual and friendly work environment, and everyone made me feel so welcome right from the start. My supervisors were incredibly flexible and always worked around my schedule, which was so helpful. They were also very understanding and considerate of any challenges I faced, and always willing to help. One thing that really stood out to me was how my colleagues valued my thoughts and opinions. It was great to feel like I was truly a part of the team. I especially enjoyed attending communication and guest booking meetings, where I gained valuable insights into how the company operates. I really appreciated the constructive criticism from my supervisors, and learning how to improve my writing and effectively reach the audience. My supervisors even helped me strengthen my resume from the employer's perspective, which was incredibly helpful. My internship was a fantastic experience, and I truly felt like my colleagues were always looking for ways to make sure I was having the best experience possible.
What I wish was different
I feel that I could have gained more insight into the inner workings of some of the projects at In Depth. It would have been great if I had been given access to the social accounts so that I could better understand how they manage their different social media platforms. Additionally, I was curious about the editing and production process and would have liked to learn more about their responsibilities.
Advice
Feedback is your best friend-- Dan and Brian have so much valuable experience and feedback to provide... so let them! They helped me to think outside of the box and improved my writing and critical thinking.

PR & Digital Intern
May - August 2022 • St. Louis, MO
What I liked
I really enjoyed my time interning here. The work environment was very enjoyable, laid-back, and welcoming. The assignments and projects I worked on were enjoyable while also helping me gain meaningful experience. Your supervisors are very flexiable and willing to work with you. They are fun to work with and are able to provide great professional advice and feedback to your work. I was also able to sit in on various meetings with the staff and able to soak in that experience. The staff is also fairly small, so it is a very tight knit group. I was also able to talk and work on some smaller projects with other departments.
What I wish was different
One thing I wish was different would be having something more tangible to add to my portfolio. I also wish there was a bigger/ongoing project too.
Advice
Take advantage of who is there and have fun. The people who work there are the real deal and have great stories and advice. Spend the extra 5 minutes to talk to them.

Digital and PR Intern
January - May 2022 • Saint Louis, MO
What I liked
The environment at In Depth is very casual. The dress code is lax, and everyone there is very friendly. No office stuffiness at all. My internship was also very flexible, and they were able to work with my hectic schedule, which was amazing. I was able to sit in on team meetings and share my thoughts with the team, as well as receive feedback on the graphics I made for their social channels which have almost a million followers. My internship supervisors were really easy to work with, and looked over my resume and the jobs I will be applying to, so they are really invested in my success after school.
What I wish was different
I wish I had been able to work with the other intern on more projects, and I wish I had more access to social media accounts so I could have experience with running them and gathering analytics. For my graphic design work, I wish I had better access to images to see what I was working with.
Advice
Have fun! This internship was really flexible and they want you to enjoy it, so communicate with Dan and Brian.
