Hello everyone. My name is Yvonne. I’m in the class of 2025. My title during my term at Hollywood Agency is Public Relations intern.
00:00:17:05 – 00:00:58:10
I found my internship through the manager of Emerson Channel, Diana Barton. While working at Emerson Channel she introduced this great opportunity to the marketing department of Emerson Channel. and also a Hollywood agency was founded by her friend Darlene Hollywood, who is also an Emerson alumni. I decided to take this internship because I was hoping to do an internship during the semester term, and I’m also interested in PR/communications, so it was a reason I decided to take this internship and challenge myself.
00:01:01:03 – 00:01:22:13
My internship was a hybrid one. I had to go to the office on Monday and Thursday and work remotely on Friday. I usually come to the office to check the emails and slack messages, to see if any of my colleagues have any tasks. I need my support with my main daily routine is to check in with all the colleagues in the office.
00:01:22:13 – 00:01:57:22
I work remotely if they need my assistance. My responsibilities are research, competitive products and industry companies to help build compelling client stories. Develop media, influencer contacts, databases and provide insight into targets. Assisted with research awards, speaking opportunities, and writing pitches. Participated in clients calls and join in brainstorming sessions and in their day to day activities for a diverse range of accounts.
00:01:57:24 – 00:02:04:28
Collated and analyzed media coverage and prepare media clip books for clients.
00:02:07:20 – 00:02:31:11
my favorite part of my internship was connecting with different people and developing professional connections, including my colleagues and other higher positions managers. It was a small company, so it was easier for me to connect with professionals, individuals and seek for feedbacks from them.
00:02:34:02 – 00:03:04:28
I’m in the field of marketing slash PR, so I usually encourage everyone in my field to always pay attention to the latest trends and news, because it will help you on content creation and writing pitches. Please always be curious about initiative and the projects you’re involved in, and seek feedback actively. When you are tying your words to your supervisors.
00:03:05:00 – 00:03:17:29
You don’t have to be super knowledgeable because you are here to learn and experience. So please feel. Don’t feel shy to ask questions about the things you don’t know.
00:03:21:01 – 00:03:55:18
It is sometimes difficult for me to speak with people around me about my thoughts and feelings about the projects I’m involved in and my responsibilities. I wish I could learn and stand out more to establish a name for myself. Mixed feelings, however, like nervousness and imposter syndrome like kind of lead me to feel shy. In the initial weeks. when I found out, if I didn’t reach out, I would, like, stay in the same phase.
00:03:55:20 – 00:04:07:28
So I believe that reaching out to a supervisor as coworkers and even other interns will, like, enhance your skills and show you engaged-ness to learn.
