Sunshine Enterprises

Marketing Consultant Intern

July - August 2020 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

I was able to connect with several business owners in Chicago and assist them in building their personal brands via website improvements and enhancing social media presence. The CEOs/Owners of these businesses were all highly skilled and motivated themselves, making the overall experience extremely fruitful and enjoyable.

What I wish was different

Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet any of the business owners in person. This was entirely outside anyone's control, however, as the internship was remote due to the pandemic.

Advice

Sometimes a little knowledge can go a long way. I'm no marketing expert by any means, but I was able to take what I had learned both in schooling and in previous work and translate it in a way that benefited these small businesses. Coming into the internship, I was unsure whether I would provide any value to these business owners. Yet I quickly realized what I did know was more than enough to help these owners develop and/or build upon their marketing protocols.
