🌟 One among 533 SKELAR’s internship participants? Challenge Accepted! 🚀 Imagine being one of 533 interns, competing for attention in Skelar. It's like a game of musical chairs with more players than chairs, but I'm not just spinning around – I'm pulling out my secret weapons: hustle and a hunger for growth. 🎓 I'm also expanding my knowledge by taking the "Creative Strategy" course and the most valuable insight I took away from Ivan Matvieiev is that campaign setup is getting simplified more and more. This means ad creatives & creative strategy play a game-changing role in digital marketing. 🔍 Next insight I took from Ruslan Quasar about tracking and Meta Pixel, I knew that pixel is needed for better tracking like a compass is needed for lost marketers in the digital jungle, but I didn’t know how it actually works “under the hood”. As Ruslan said, meta pixels are like "little spies" that collect all the data about user activity (content, pages, products, prices and more) on third-party sites where the pixel is installed. 💡 The algorithms work in such a way that the effectiveness and optimization of Meta ads is directly related to how much and what kind of data a pixel transmits. My conclusion is that the effectiveness of advertising campaigns is about creative strategy and data sent to the platform (tracking). So I immersed myself in these topics to craft the most effective ad campaigns. If you found this post as inspiring as a double shot of espresso on a Monday morning, let me know by raining some likes down on this post, it would make my day! ☕️👍 #InternshipInsights #CreativeStrategy #DigitalMarketing #MetaPixel #Skelar

🎥 Navigating the Impact of OTT and New Age Cinema on Society 🌍 The evolution of OTT platforms and new age cinema has undoubtedly transformed how we consume content. However, it's crucial to examine the potential societal consequences that come with this paradigm shift. There's a growing concern that unrestrained exposure to certain content may contribute to a desensitized and, in extreme cases, a potentially "barbaric" society. Real-life examples underscore instances where individuals, influenced by on-screen narratives, have mirrored destructive behaviors. As we embrace the freedom and creativity of these platforms, it's imperative for industry stakeholders to reflect on the ethical responsibilities that come with content creation. Striking a balance between artistic expression and societal well-being is paramount to prevent the erosion of core values. Let's engage in a constructive dialogue about shaping the future of entertainment responsibly. By fostering awareness and advocating for mindful content creation, we can ensure that OTT and new age cinema contribute positively to our collective societal evolution. #OTT #NewAgeCinema #SocietyImpact #ContentEthics #MediaResponsibility Follow Raunak Kumar LinkedIn LinkedIn Guide to Creating #internship #internships #oppurtunities #linkedin #podcast #people #email #linkedinpost #freelancing #like #linkedincreator #linkedincontent

🎶 𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐃’𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: Chase K.💜 Chase is TREND’s Brand Management Intern, coming to us from UCLA, who started in early 2024. Her creative attitude and passion for work are great assets to TREND. We are happy to have her on our team! 🎙️𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝘀𝘂𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆? : My father is a first-generation K-pop composer from the 90s, working with SM Entertainment artists. I have always been interested in music since I was young, but it became a profession for me after I actively participated as a vocalist in UCLA’s indie band. That’s when I first tried composing and releasing albums, falling in love with the charm of the music industry. Afterward, I studied in the United States, did various internships, and found my career path in the music industry. 🎙️𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗? : I create social media content to promote the new music releases of TREND’s artists and produce content for TREND’s TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Alongside conducting TikTok trend research reports and SWOT analysis from a marketing perspective on artists and social media accounts, I’m proud to be developing my skills as a digital marketer. 🎙️𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽? : As a Korean working in a different industry from Korea’s K-pop, I am broadening my horizons in the American industry. While it was initially challenging to create content in English, I have become more accustomed to American culture, reading trends, and now, like other American Gen Zers, I can enjoy American TikTok and laugh along. Being in charge of social media, I have learned a lot of American slang and the way Americans speak. #musicindustry #intern #internship #earlycareers #internationalstudent

Not too long ago, I wrapped up my spring internship as a Creative Media Intern with MediaNug. During my time this semester, I had the privilege of being submersed in the fast-paced environment of the media industry, working with both the Entertainment and the Content Teams from development to delivery. Creating mood boards with examples of color-grading, music, imagery, and thematic principles helped give inspiration to build out decks. These decks were utilized in pitching to potential clients for future movie promotions and ads used across various social media platforms, including but not limited to TikTok, Snapchat, Youtube, and Meta. I learned the ins and outs of sourcing and outreach, specifically in the context of gaining permission to use a creator’s content in MediaNug’s Snapchat shows. I’d like to give many thanks to Christopher Heiman for his guidance and mentorship, the opportunity to join the team, and his insistence I get involved with as many different processes in the organization as possible. I’d also like to thank Brendan Bodi and Alex Hausman for welcoming me with open arms and offering every opportunity to learn new things about this multi-faceted industry. Bringing on a remote intern with classes and a time change to work around requires flexibility, adaptability, and quite a bit of extra effort. I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation enough for this team, their efforts, and pushing me to grow as a professional. Looking forward to applying all that I’ve learned in my future roles and excited for what lies ahead! #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerGrowth #IndustryInsights #FutureLeaders #WorkplaceCulture #SkillsDevelopment #TeamCollaboration #NextSteps #GratefulForOpportunities

Léna is incredibly curious, smart and loves to learn. Who will offer her an internship? And even if it doesn't fit now, she has another 6 month internship next year. This is also a great moment to talk more about my positive experience with internship programs! Companies like InnoGames GmbH and Sticky Studios have & had brilliant internship programs and were active in their local communities: Visiting career fairs, doing portfolio reviews and open days. In return we got some amazing talent that we could hire once graduated. Here are some of my observations & experiences: 👩🏫 Select the right mentor. Create a (rotating) team who are interested in being a mentor for an intern. It's important to have self-motivated individuals who can guide the process, be the first point of contact during the internship and is allotted time for their support. This can be someone from any level of seniority. 💡 Learning goes both ways. It's not only a great opportunity for the intern, but also for the employees to learn: How to give feedback, how to be a coach and how to delegate. Also a reason why it can be great for junior and intermediate staff to be a mentor. 📝 Make interns part of the team. The most effective method was to make them part of the day-to-day work and give tasks to hone their craft. This will be a win-win for the company and the intern. I'm not a fan of extra research or tasks outside of the company's core activity. 🙋♂️ Give interns responsibility... with the safety net of the mentor. Give them real work with real stakes, but make sure the accountability falls on the mentor so they can support where needed. Reward the interns who ask (and deliver) with more responsibility. 🔍 Reflect and learn. As with any program and process: inspect and adapt frequently to improve. For example we changed how we selected the candidates to get high performing interns, and we improved how we like to run the internships many times over to get the most out of it for the company. Those are some of my observations and experiences, anything I missed? Any tips? :)

Watch this Intern raise the BP of a whole Full-time employee at Eazylancer😂 This is just for you to know that some interns are already planning coup against senior creatives. Who among them needs to be cleared here? Intern or senior? Like, who is carrying position on the head here? They need to hear from you. #Lancerspodcast #eazylancer2024 #digitalmarketingagency

My maiden post on LinkedIn and it had to be my reflection on an enriching chapter as a Brand strategist  and Business Analyst Intern at Beats by Dre which had me buzzing with excitement. I dug  into customer exploration to take apart the resurgence of over-ear earphones among the dynamic Gen Z. Every disclosure turned into a breadcrumb prompting the entrancing 'why' behind this attractive pattern. I meticulously studied the genesis of this resurgence amongst the Gen Z which revealed layers causing this timeless trend. The key factors influencing this rise whet  appetite for over-ear headphones  in the audio industry. Spearheaded an agile team of 3 to conceptualize a robust brand marketing campaign for a new product- Beats Studio Pro.  The very essence of the product to reach everyone beyond the traditional athlete- centric market.  My heartfelt appreciation extends to Michael Guerrero Michael Guerrero an outstanding program manager, and the unwavering support from the TA Erik Schalk Erik Schalk Special gratitude to Camille Barbier Camille Barbier Consumer Insight Lead at Beats and Buku Ibraheem for sharing their experiences as creatives at Beats By Dre. Super elated to have met co-externs with positive mentality and  resilient values towards this internship. Lisa Kwikiriza Lisa Kwikiriza , Abdul Mohammed and Ashlyn Liu @Ashlyn L., you have my heart fr! <3 Exciting times unfolded as we collectively reshaped the audio landscape!  Grateful for the chance to contribute to a brand synonymous with innovation, style, and an unbridled passion for sound. #branding #internship #beatsbydre #openfornewopportunities #workingremote
