Media Internships in Texas

My co-interns are the sweetest! This competitive field is filled with not just witty, but kindest persons! I wanna say hello to Gilda, Marielle, and Patrick – my co-interns, who are so funny and lovable. We bonded a lot during our beach trips. They even sent me flowers last week because it’s my birthday. Thank you very much to IGS for this life-long friendship!

Events planning and photography were two of the things I love to do in the world; but because of “matters of consequences”, I was not able to do them most of the time. I neglected these passions I had, because I was too busy on other things. Luckily, my internship in Spain made me fell in love with them again. I know only basic Spanish, so these tasks are the perfect ones assigned to me. Right now, I just bought a new camera to rekindle this fire inside me. Thank you, IGS. You made me rediscover myself.

In the second track of the advertising program, we are placed in a particular field of interest. I signed up for social services, and I was deployed to a social service organization’s advertising and marketing department. It was ideal for me because I get to do what I like to do, and also gain enough advertising skills. I am grateful to my mentor, Mr. Johnson, for the guidance. It was an honor to be under your tutelage. You explain so calmly and effectively, and helped us develop relevant skills, helping us prepare for a job and career in this field.

our sponsors in the advertising agency are actually big businesses wishing to promote their products and services,, what I learned and what they consistently reminded us is “You have to trust your brand, for you to effectively market it.” i assisted in making a total of five ads, for this short stint, and these are amazing additions to my portfolio. i am sure if my employers would see my resume, my internship in IGS would play a big role in my signing of employment contract.

As a Mass Communication Student, this internship was the perfect fit for me. I volunteered to calling businesses for potential partnerships, conducting interviews to some artists and callers, and some marketing on their social media platform. My LinkedIn account looks so much better now; thanks to the skillset I acquired and the jobs they let me experience. My friends are quite jealous of what I accomplished this summer.

Per my preference, I was designated to help a non-traditional station, an independent station featuring local artists and under-represented communities. In their interviews, the artists made their political stands through lyrics of their songs; and some of the composers even explain the struggles they face that they want the listeners to understand and take action on. My internship was meaningful. It is as if I could cry any moment.

I did a lot of advertising internships already, because I wanted to construct a strong profile. And I could say that this probably is the best internship I’ve had. The accommodation, mentors, and supplemental seminars are very well thought-of. It feels like we are on a vacation, when in fact, our primary purpose here is to learn! Next year, I plan to do an internship in IGS again. But I think of Paris for my second time.

Admittedly, it was a fast-paced environment. Well, no doubt, because the team is composed of high-profile and competitive individuals. I chose Track One, where I was assigned to a traditional advertising firm. They taught us the brainstorming processes and professional strategies of advertising itself. We are taught of the principles of visual consistency, campaign duration, and repeated taglines. I knew I will encounter them again once I start college as an Advertising major. It was an advance lesson for me. Thank you, IGS.

We are assigned to different radio stations, and are given a chance to be on-air for the advertisement parts. My voice was not in its best condition at that time, but I am super duper thankful that they gave me another chance. Aside from on-air work, we are also tasked to do some editing, writing, and calling businesses. I discovered that this career path is what I am destined to do.

I was really hesitating to join this internship program; not because I am shy, but because I am afraid that it is a scam. I am thankful to have given it a try! It was legitimate and it was so fulfilling. Upon deployment, I saw how the invited experts and the IGS mentors conversed, and I saw the long history of their good collaborations prior to our arrival. With IGS, I met beautiful and passionate people, who could be the next Oprah or Ellen! It was a stunning experience.

Thank you for organizing everything! Thank you. That was an amazing experience. This is not just their job but their passion. I had a chance to help set up the studio when companies booked the space to film commercials. I learned so much. And, It’s a fun work environment where people are super serious but always ready for a good laugh.

I always wanted to work in a radio station, and my voice to be heard. With this opportunity i worked in radio station London and, i learned so many things, I built my professional skills. I also helped coordinate events for the station. And meet so many famous singers, artists. It’s so fun, i love to work here with such wonderful people. There is a lot that goes into it and I got a chance to be part of it all.

Hi Guys! I’m Natasha from New York. I am on my Gap Year with Interim Programs and they introduced me to Dr. David Adams and the Institute for Global Studies. I just spent a month interning for IGS in Sydney. It fell into place perfectly as I always dreamed of living in Sydney and IGS had a research position for their Intern Down Under program. worked directly with David to set up a really cool places to see list for future Intern Down Under participants like yourself. My background is in advertising and design and interning with IGS allowed me to apply my skills while fulfilling my Australia dream. I learned some amazing history during my research. And, the best part was getting out to see the sites! Inspired by what I saw, I organized my impressions to help you get an idea of all that you can explore while here. Sydney is a place unlike any other: full of unique suburbs, quirky city blocks, and truly diverse natural environments! One day I started my research surrounded by skyscrapers and ten minutes later I was on a white sand beach! My Sydney experience with IGS was wonderful and Intern Down Under is going to be a blast!

For me, the pressure was on the minute I touched down on Australian soil to find the ideal gifts for all my friends and family, and then some. I was able to visit Bondi Beach, Manly, Market City, and Darling Harbor to help fulfill my quest. During my first trip to Bondi, the first thing I did was take a walk toward the pool that I had dreamt about seeing. I learned that this iconic pool was called ‘The Bondi Icebergs.’ It was even more amazing in person, surrounded by Bondi’s cliffs and the ocean. But, my curiosity for the Bondi Icebergs didn’t end there. I wanted to know more about it, and maybe even get to go swimming in the famous pool. After doing some research and sitting down with one of the pool’s employees, I found out everything I needed to know about the Bondi Icebergs. One week I was given the seemingly impossible task of discovering which shop has the best ice cream at Bondi Beach. While in Sydney, I interned at CityHubSydney and even had an article published.

I was the second Down Under Tom to work with them so they called me Texas Tom. These guys are really a fun group to work with. This is not just their job but their passion. I had a chance to help set up the studio when companies booked the space to film commercials. Also, I learned about all the latest equipment to check in and out to their clients. These guys work with some of the top film crews in the world so being around that really inspired me.

I worked at a radio station in Sydney that focused on local artists and Aboriginal music in general. It was neat to see local singers and groups come into the station to promote their music. My job at the station was to help book the talent. So I reached out to the agents or singers themselves to schedule times to come in. I also helped coordinate events for the station. This required me to reach out to local businesses and people in the community which I liked. Watching how a radio show is put together was a valuable learning experience. There is a lot that goes into it and I got a chance to be part of it all.

My internship was through an online, independent newspaper in Wellington, New Zealand. The parliamentary elections were going on at the time I was there, and I was able to learn about the differences in their government compared to ours. I maintained a blog, for the newspaper, about election integrity. I was able to network with over 40 activist concerning important issues like voter disenfranchisement and electronic voting fraud. I also updated the international news web page. Another aspect of this internship included a flight to Christchurch to cover the music festival “Southern Amp”. I was given a lot of responsibilities and autonomy. The staff was great to work with. In fact, the editor has written numerous recommendation letters for me.

I enjoyed my time at The Hobson and learned a lot about community journalism. Seeing my work published in such a respected place made me proud of myself. I liked the balance of meeting with the editor some days and then going in the field to do my research. Writing about the community gave me a chance to see how political issues are handled in a different country. Also, having an assignment near the beach was really cool.

Work with the crew at Kingsize was the best part of the internship. They liked that I was from America and were always curious to learn more about me. They taught me a bunch about the equipment they use and I liked being on my feet throughout the day helping to outfit clients. It’s a fun work environment where people are super serious but always ready for a good laugh.

I was more interested in the marketing side of the newspaper. My job duties include expanding our publication into a new district in the city. This is fun work as I get to learn all kinds of new things about the area. Approaching businesses is real-life work. I see the results immediately when I get a sale and it’s a good feeling to succeed in the real world.
