I spent the summer working at Participant Media, a production company in Beverly Hills, supporting the digital content division’s Marketing Director as she prepared for an event.
For three months, I supported her with the following tasks.
- Organic marketing campaign planning
- Referral channel planning & media outreach
- Social media analytics collection and reporting
- Competitive research
- Newsletter editing and writing
- Event-planning support
I learned that corporate culture can be personal. SoulPancake had a manager dedicated to operations and culture to help facilitate new personelle introductions. I loved their company culture. On my first day on the job, I was welcomed by coordinators and managers in my department, received a tour of the building, and was given a book written by the company's founder. Usually these introductions are left to someone who might be too busy. Media environments are very busy and stressful places. The extra courtesy made me feel excited and made it easier to collaborate with teammates.
