Social media influencerzzz unite!
November 05, 2020by: Angelica Song - United StatesAs a Social Media influencer, I wanted to expand my knowledge on how to use my platform to promote better causes and even expand my network. With this internship, I gained more knowledge on social media marketing and even graphic design for my future posts. I also got to work for major sports teams, ecotourism companies, and go to other exciting venues, which I vlogged about. My YouTube channel’s following enhanced because of that. Thank you very much, IGS!
They are so patient in mentoring us
October 29, 2020by: Ken Vargas - SpainFor my track, I worked with a traditional company who wants to expand their social media presence in-house. We oversee their social media updates and discuss on how to improve the company's online presence. The working atmosphere is calm and very accommodating. They are so patient in mentoring us... In the process, we also conducted market analysis and did some interviews on the locals. I never knew my grade school subject of Mandarin could be so handy!
Dream come true, I would say
October 29, 2020by: Dorothy Barnett - AustraliaWorking in Paris was a dream come true! I got to see the Eiffel Tower during our free days and sip our coffees on world-famous cafés there. Also, my IGS mentor was very approachable and appreciative. He gave us a Letter of Recommendation upon successful program completion. I super duper enjoyed my stay there. Can’t wait to be back! Thank you very much to IGS and to my IGS mentor, Mr. Kline.
Helpful to my online business
October 14, 2020by: Gim Mi-ok - South KoreaI just started my online business and I saw the need to be an expert on Social Media Marketing. I knew I made the right decision of taking this learning opportunity with IGS. The companies to where we are deployed are specialists from different fields. I chose the first track which is to work with a designated social media company that contracts out to businesses to create online marketing presence for them. I operated closely with experts and got to learn how to use the latest strategies to help their clients in expanding their audience. I am currently applying these approaches to my growing online business!
Surely an asset to my resume
October 14, 2020by: Julian Styles - New ZealandI needed an internship for my resume, since I aspire to be a full-time social media marketer. This idea of applying to an IGS internship was brought to me by my friend, who is also working in the field. I am grateful that he opened this up to me. IGS placed us on big companies that are with effective and already-established practices for interns. During my stint, I was made to do three social media marketing content and strategies. These are now included in my online portfolio, which would be seen by my potential clients. Knowing that I did my internship globally would surely increase my chance of landing the job.
Really good experience
October 05, 2020by: Lara nikol - GermanyI had the opportunity for professional internship in the marketing field. This is really amazing experience. I get to meet their clients and sit in when they develop their marketing plans for them. They helped my career. I have the opportunity to work with major sports teams, ecotourism companies, and other exciting venues. It was a really good experience, and I am glad I got the opportunity to do it.
What a great office
May 23, 2020by: Nick GI wanted a professional internship in the marketing field and they found the perfect match. What a great office right in the heart of the city with a view of the park and high rises. The best part is the job duties they assign. I get to meet their clients and sit in when they develop their marketing plans for them. I then assist with creating a social media presence for the client and as well some graphic work. If they are doing a google ads campaign I help with those submissions as well. They have offices around the world so it is neat being with an international firm.
