My Internship Experience at Qantm Creative
NORFOLK, VA (July 23,2024)--- As I reflect on my recent internship at Qantm Creative, I’m filled with gratitude and excitement for the path ahead. My role as a Public Relations Intern was an
enriching experience that provided me with invaluable insights into the world of PR. Here’s a look at what made the internship exceptional, what I’d do differently, and how it’s shaping my professional future.
What Made the Internship Stand Out
From day one, Qantm Creative welcomed me with open arms, creating an environment where I felt valued and encouraged. One of the most rewarding aspects was the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to strategic decisions and content creation. A highlight of my
internship was crafting the talking points for Miki Sudo’s interview with FOX 8 News. This was not only a confidence booster but also a testament to the trust and responsibility the team placed in me. The hands-on experience and the team’s willingness to involve me in key projects made my time there both educational and empowering.
What I’d Do Differently in the Future
Looking back, one area where I’d seek more involvement is in cross-departmental collaboration. While my focus was primarily on Public Relations, gaining exposure to other departments like marketing and digital strategy could provide a more well-rounded understanding of the agency’s operations. This broader perspective would help me contribute more effectively and enhance my skill set in future roles.
Achieving My SMART Goals
I’m proud to say that I met all the SMART goals I set for my internship. By August 2024, I had successfully composed three press releases, conducted research for two real clients, and developed a comprehensive media plan, including an Influencer project.
Additionally, I participated in three team meetings, helped organize a client event, and built connections with ten new media contacts. Each goal was achieved thanks to the supportive environment and the ample opportunities provided by Qantm Creative.
What’s Next for Me
I’m thrilled to share that my journey with Qantm Creative is continuing. I’ve been hired as a Public Relations Assistant with the offer of an immediate promotion upon completing my degree. This next step is incredibly exciting, and I’m eager to further develop my skills and contribute to the team’s success. My focus will be on honing my expertise in strategic communication and media relations.
Preparing for the Future
The lessons I’ve learned during my internship will guide me as I move forward in my career. I plan to keep seeking feedback, expanding my professional network, and staying updated on industry trends. By leveraging the skills and experiences gained at Qantm Creative, I’m confident in my ability to make meaningful contributions and achieve my long-term career goals.
