Live Marketing Intern

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I liked the learning seminars - I felt I learned a lot about media, marketing, and so much more. I love my team. They gave me meaningful work and always made me feel supported and included. They allowed me to take ownership of my work, treated me like a full-time employee, and gave me client-facing opportunities. I felt like I had actually contributed to their work. I also learned to use some martech data tools which was really interesting. Also the office is beautiful.

What I wish was different

I wish there had been more social opportunities for interns to meet one another and better guidance for the final project/presentation. I also wish I could have stayed longer as 9 weeks was a little short and I didn’t have the chance to work on a really cool project that was happening a week after I left.

Advice

I would say keep a student mindset - there’s a lot to learn and definitely a lot of brilliant people. Keep looking for work to do and meetings to join, email people to get coffee if you want to know more about what they do, and reach out if there’s something you want to be involved in.
