Intern Series II: Starting an internship at d.trio marketing group

Starting a new internship is like opening a present on Christmas. You are ready for something new, nervous that you might not like it or it doesn’t fit, you don’t know if batteries are included, and you are excited for the opportunity to learn new things.

Beginning my internship with d.trio marketing group I felt like I was opening a Christmas present. This is all totally new to me. Although I have had two internships before, I have never had one with a marketing agency. I have always wanted to get this experience and going into my first day I felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

So far I could not be happier with this opportunity. Everyone that works here has been so welcoming and helpful with all of the trillion questions that I have. I have been interning for d.trio for two weeks so far and I am already sitting in on client meetings, meeting with everyone in the officeand learning about their position in the company and learning about the company as a whole.  And, I totally got the best gift during our White Elephant gift exchange (a used bowling pin).

I am really looking forward to a few different things in this internship. I want to learn how an agency works. How are clients found, how are projects distributed, who are our clients and what kind of projects are we working on, and how does a small agency with large clients compete with other agencies? Next, I want to see what kind of skills are needed to succeed in the agency environment and what skills do I already have and what things I can learn from everyone at d.trio?  Finally, I want to be able to work on a team on an actual client project.

I know that everyone is expecting big things from me and I am very motivated to exceed their expectations. I am looking forward to this experience and opportunity!
