Tag: internship program

As a business student with a growing love for marketing, I knew that internships played a crucial role in developing practical skills and gaining industry experience. Being able to apply my knowledge in a real-life setting was also very important to me as it gave me insightful knowledge on what to potentially expect at future roles. Therefore, when I got the opportunity to become an intern at Marketing Eye, although I was quite nervous, I was also very excited to dive into the world of marketing.

I started my internship at Marketing Eye a year after I graduated from RMIT University, and yes, I graduated during the lockdown.

When I applied for Marketing Eye, I applied with no expectations on whether I will be accepted for the role or not. When I received the call back from Vedika and got accepted, I was thrilled to start experiencing what it’ll be like working in a field I’m passionate about. 

I remember the first day so vividly.

I remember feeling really happy on the way here, thinking, 

“Wow, Nate, you’re here now. Marketing Eye allows you to show the world what you’re made of. Let’s get it.”

I started my internship at Marketing Eye when I had just finished my first university semester. I aimed to find a part-time internship where I would be able to learn and enhance my skills in the professional world. I applied to Marketing Eye without expecting to be accepted for the role. However, when I received the confirmation call, I was ecstatic, as this was my first achievement in a new country. Furthermore, marketing has always been my field of interest, so a Marketing internship was exciting.

Marketing is an overarching area that infiltrates all areas of our lives and provides us with a greater insight into the human psyche and trends prevalent throughout society. Working at an outsourced marketing agency has provided me with an abundance of experience and information about the business world, that will translate throughout the rest of my career.

During my time as a marketing intern for Marketing Eye, I have had the privilege of receiving real-life work experience and utilising all the tools I have received at university in real-life applications. Not only have I learnt a great deal about marketing, but I have learnt even more about myself and my capabilities in taking on new challenges and roles.

Reflecting on my experience, today I’ll be talking about the 5 most important lessons I learned during my first internship, working for an outsourced marketing agency.

We have the most amazing marketing internship program, and the biggest benefit for us is the privilege to see people grow in confidence and capabilities. The fact that after an internship they should be able to go out into the world and add value to any entry-based marketing position, is something that we are extremely proud of.
