to understand how the company's products worked and where they were headed. I then reviewed the blogs on the company website, researched given blog topics, and wrote and posted 5 marketing blogs on the company's website. I also researched relevant industry publications to reach out to for guest blogs. I was involved in design and I reviewed the company's investor one-pager, product brochures, and pitch deck and updated their design and content. I was also involved in social media and social media strategy I set up a company Instagram and defined a social media strategy for the company going forward. I assisted the Market Research intern with his reports, leading on competitor research for different sectors. In my final week, I researched for and created a company marketing strategy from scratch, which has been subsequently used by the company. Daily Life This internship was remote, seeing as this company normally works remotely and I was in the US while most of the others were in the UK. I had a video call with my supervisor every morning for the first week of my internship, and then every 2-3 days after that. We also had one virtual team meeting, where people shared what they'd been working on, and two virtual team "experience exchange" days, where each junior team member created a short workshop to teach the rest of the team something relevant to their work. Working from home was great and my day was roughly based around when I was scheduled to call someone, but besides that I could complete my work whenever suited me best. Lasting Impressions I really enjoyed interning with Deep Planet. I was given lots of responsibility from the get-go, my supervisor provided me with all the support I needed, was very open to feedback and was open to adjusting my tasks so as to help build my skills as much as possible. Everyone else at the company was also very willing to hop on a quick call to collaborate on tasks or discuss ideas. As the company was quite small and in relatively early stages of development, my internship provided a great opportunity to learn about the basics of business strategy and start-ups. Overall, I feel like I got a tremendous amount out of just four weeks! What advice would you give to future interns? Try to get as much as you can out of your internship experience by going above and beyond on tasks and asking to join in on client calls, team meetings, etc. where you can. It's also important to always take notes, especially when you're doing a remote internship which means you can't just walk over to the next desk to ask your supervisor to explain something.
