Given the opportunity to return to MWW Group for a second summer internship was a chance I could not pass up. My experience here last summer was something that I wanted to build on and use as a starting point to achieve my future goals in PR. My time at MWW these past three months only solidified my ambition to go further in this field of work.
This summer I was given a chance to develop my experiences from last year as well as work in different aspects of PR. Earlier this summer, I was able to experience a team event in which myself and other interns invaded Rockefeller Center for a client promotion. The event showed me a side to PR I had not yet been accustomed to, and was one of the more memorable experiences of the summer. At the office I was lucky enough to work within the Nikon department, one of MWW’s top clients. The assistance of account coordinators Matt Kopacz and Devin Davis made working with this account enjoyable. Being able to share relatable experiences as well as helping to guide me through new ones, Matt and Devin were both great influences on me this summer.
I wouldn’t be able to recap this summer properly without mentioning the intern project. I was fortunate enough this summer to be paired with great teammates who all worked extremely hard to put forth great work. Although we had some road bumps along the way, it showed me why I enjoy being able to work in PR. Our abilities to be as creative as we could and come together as a team allowed for not only a great final product, but for parts of our project to be used for the actual client pitch.
While my college graduation quickly approaches in December, I find myself more confident than ever in my abilities to be successful beyond school. I think my main word throughout this entry was experience, and thanks to my time at MWW, I’ll be able to carry that word with me wherever I go.
