Whew, where to start?... My year-long internship with Gorilla 76 ended a couple of weeks ago, and with graduation wrapping up last week, I’ve been able to reflect a bit more on this past year. And here’s what I’ve been thinking about: 1️⃣ G76 has set a HIGH bar. With rockstar teammates, a company culture with core values that are practiced and celebrated every day, an HR department that actually cares, and so much more, this first marketing experience of mine has set the standard for the rest of my career. 2️⃣ I’ve learned so much this past year It was hard to reflect on my improvement when I was in the thick of it, but it’s been a lot easier to look back on it all these past two weeks. From barely knowing anything about marketing to getting comfortable within a media buying role, I’m extremely grateful for the trust and teaching of SO many of the Gorillas who helped me get there. Nobody is less than an expert, and they’re all smart cookies. But most importantly, they were patient and kind enough to spend the time needed to get me where I am now. The moral of the story: find amazing teammates and teachers. 3️⃣ The people make the company Answering “the people” to your favorite part about the job sounds cliche, but there’s a reason it’s such a common answer. From whatever aspect, whether it’s talent, kindness, collaboration, etc, it really is the people who make Gorilla an amazing company and made this past internship such a wonderful experience. - P.S. On a final note, I’ll be setting up a Calendly around mid-June, and I would love to meet and connect with any marketers who’d be willing to share their experiences and roles. That way, I can continue to learn and meet some cool people:) So, keep an eye out for another post around then!

This week I worked a total of 3 hours on Tuesday and Thursday. During my internship at Maverick Chocolate this week I learned more skills relating to my entrepreneurship course, as well as skills that I can use to help out at on-site. To start helping the business in more ways I learned how to de-mold the chocolate bars to prepare them for packaging. By doing this I was able to help get all of the prepared Ruya and Prohibition bars de-molded and ready for packaging. Relating to the current topics of the course I had the opportunity to discuss revenue models with Mr. Picton. I learned of the purpose of forecasting revenue/profits as well as how they effect the process of planning for the future of the business. What I can takeaway from this week is that by having the statistics necessary to forecast a revenue one can plan on how they will develop. I can apply this to my current and future endeavors by adapting my plans based on the data that I gain through my development. #TheBusinessLaunchExperience @TheLaunchBusinessExperience

Can you believe we’re in Q2 of the calendar year and Q4 of the financial year! Thought I might give you an insight into some of what the last quarter saw for The Marketing GP. ☑️ We mentored Chelsea, a work experience student and events intern Olivia, as part of our wider internship program. ☑️ Our NPS survey was sent out and we had an increase in responses for this round, as well as some amazing feedback (with not one detractor in sight!) We also got some really great constructive feedback, which have put into our operational planning update. ☑️ We had a number of our team take some well-deserved breaks and go to some amazing places, both here in Australia and overseas – stay tuned for photos I am sure! ☑️ Our regular WIP meetings occurred each Monday, to ensure we are delivering for our marketing implementation retainer clients – both day-to-day, but also in line with the bigger picture of their strategy ☑️ The Easter Bunny delivered not only some chocolate, but also a session from our corporate masseuse. ☑️ We updated ten very detailed templates in our project management system, inline with our approach to continuous improvement for our processes. The upshot is we work smarter, not harder and continue to up the ante on our efficiency for our clients ☑️ Various team members attended 16 networking and business events to hear from amazing speakers and catch up with clients and stakeholders. A large number of those were related to International Women’s Day – which is now almost a month! ☑️ We had a team meeting and training day, which was an opportunity to learn from each other, talk about the year ahead and ensure we’re all on the same page ☑️ 1,23,456,789 photos and videos were taken (well that’s what our phone storage seems to think!) And to be honest, this is just the tip of the iceberg 🧊🧊🧊 When people ask me what our team is like, the key thing I seem to always say is how hard everyone works. We have a great culture (which is what you often see on our socials), but by golly does this team produce some amazing outputs. 🎯 Can’t wait to see what this quarter delivers 🎯

As I complete my 10th week of my Global People Internship at Walmart, I am grateful to have had abundant opportunities and incredible experiences. One of my most impactful experiences was a tour of Walmart Store 5260 that I embarked on with my fellow Global People Interns. This tour not only broadened my understanding of my project but also offered several key takeaways: 1. The importance of inclusion Did you know Walmart offers a sensory friendly environment during the hours of 8 AM to 10 AM in all Walmart U.S. and Puerto Rico store locations? This is to provide an optimal experience for all customers, regardless of their needs. This is just one of the many displays of “service to the customer” I witnessed while touring Store 5260. 2. The power of associate ownership Walmart is actively involved in giving back to communities, and I got to discover how Store 5260 encourages their associates to take ownership of fundraising initiatives. Store 5260 decided to take on the challenge of raising money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals in many creative ways, such as selling snacks and t-shirts next to the breakroom. It was such a unique way to learn about how associates can play a direct role in supporting their community. 3. The value of growth opportunities The leadership board stood out to me on the tour. The board has associates' faces on the wall to display the store hierarchy, helping to put names to faces, and showing associates what their next growth opportunity at Walmart might be. What was most impactful about the board was when Store Manager, Carlie Dodge highlighted that almost every person in a leadership role on that board had been recently promoted, and that the leadership team reflects the diverse community they serve. This is a great example of how associates can see leadership from people who look like them and recognize potential roles they can grow into, all while encouraging associates to “strive for excellence.” Of course, a special shout-out to Matt Meyers, Ph.D. for putting this internship experience together, and Cody Katzer for giving insight into the customer and associate experience. Witnessing these initiatives firsthand has truly reinforced my admiration for Walmart’s commitment to inclusivity and community support.

Sometimes, the most unexpected opportunities come from the simplest conversations. And one such conversation helped me land my internship at Cocoa Drama. What started as small talk led to an incredible opportunity, where I got to bring my classroom learning to life in the real world. Here’s what I worked on: Customer Insights: → Collected and analyzed customer data to build detailed profiles for better-targeted marketing efforts. Launch Effective Campaigns: → Defined clear objectives, selected the right platforms, crafted content, and launched successful marketing campaigns. Forge Strategic Partnerships: → Identified key partners, reached out, and negotiated collaboration agreements that aligned with our goals. Embrace Feedback for Growth: → Regularly gathered customer feedback, analyzed it, and implemented changes to improve strategies and outcomes. A special thanks to Khushali Solanki for the opportunity and invaluable mentorship. P.S. My recommendation? Try the cupcakes!

Firsthand Revelations and Thoughts during the second week of my Internship: 1. Knowing how to ask questions is an art. There's a lot of difference between asking "Do you like our product?" and "How do you like our product?" Unless we have established it to a certain degree that the respondent likes our product to some extent, we might not get an accurate answer to the latter as it might create a pressure of answering even if there's nothing they like about it. 2. I used to think, "Why should I smile looking at someone I don't know?" No. Smile always works. A "Hello" smile. ALWAYS. 3. I wonder if we are all associating purple color with chocolate. What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you see a purple color packet? If that's Dairy Milk by Cadbury UK then imagine how successfully they have positioned their products in our minds (like it happens to me! Also because I love eating chocolates). 4. Retail stores are an important part of our grocery shopping routine. So much that, when we think of "buying", we think of the scenario of asking for the product in the retail store in our minds. How long until there's change in this 'autopilot' thought? 5. I spoke to few people who belong to the 'Millennials' category who described the below package as 'Clumsy-ish' which, the 'Gen Z' referred to as 'Attractive'. So, is Millenial's 'Clumsy' attractive to Gen Z? If you have anything to share about what I am thinking, you are welcome! #Thoughts #MyLearnings #SummerInternship #ConsumerBehavior #SalesAndMarketing
