The Road to Becoming the Mayor of MWW Group

It’s not easy being the mayor of MWW Group. There is the satisfaction of having a gold crown icon next to your user name after checking in, as well as the pride of knowing that there was a light at the end of the tunnel after diligently typing the vowels and consonants of MWW Group on a daily basis.

While the turnover for Mayor is high at MWW Group – I’ve seen two come and go in my two month span as a Media Strategies intern-, I’m ready to ride out my mayorship. The day of my crowning, my direct report, Ali Smolens, came to my desk to shake the hand of the newly-crowned MWW Group mayor. An avid Foursquare user herself, we have bonded throughout the summer over the shared quest to become the future Mayor. We shared check-ins at a Museum of Mathematics lecture at Baruch college and in ‘Our Bosses Office’ at daily Usher’s New Look team meetings in Candice Bruders office. As Ali holds the mayorship of Candice’s office, Foursquare users in the NY office may recognize a recently created check-in: the MWW Breakroom. Behold, a lowly intern can theoretically be the purveyor of MWW’s stash of Welches Fruit Snacks and Keurig coffee with a few taps on an iPhone.

Though mayorship does not equate to anything more than a crown icon and increased points at check-ins, one out of many summer goals has been reached. Interning at MWW Group has been a summer of hard work, real results and great memories.
