Week 9: Wrapping Things Up

Next week marks the final week of this Digital Marketing Internship. I can't believe it's already coming to an end! Here are a few of the highlights I'll take away from this experience:

  • Working for a startup allows you to wear many different hats and complete all kinds of various tasks. 
  • Reading vocabulary words in textbooks only gets you so far. Being in an office and using digital marketing terms in the real world is incredibly helpful!
  • Being part of the clinic was great - each week, we all shared our successes with each other and cheered our peers on. I think this made my internship more impactful than if I had experienced it on my own.
  • Working in downtown Ann Arbor is wonderful (despite having to pay for parking)!

Hootsuite and Campaign Monitor Reviews

During this internship, I have gotten the chance to work with two social media management websites for the first time: Hootsuite and Campaign Monitor. Today's blog is about my experiences with these two platforms. Hootsuite Hootsuite it very easy to use! As a first time user, I had no problems navigating the interface and figuring out how to use it. Being able to schedule social media posts in advance is such a time-saver. In about 2 hours, I was able to schedule content for the next 4 weeks. For Twitter, the link-shortening feature was incredibly helpful to save characters.

I was able to quickly compare the various emails ShapeLog has sent to subscribers and get valuable feedback about which ones were most...

Creating New Visual Content

This week, Dasha and I attended the ShapeLog fitness class at Anytime Fitness in Ypsilanti. ShapeLog has been piloting its strength training tracker at this gym for the past eight months, and classes are offered every Monday and Wednesday. The class consists of 10 different strength training stations that everyone rotates through, and after each class, participants receive a print out that shows them their progress and how they compare to other members in the class. Dasha and I attended in order to take some photos of the devices while they were being used. We posted a few videos and pictures on ShapeLog's Instagram story while we were there, and we took a couple hundred photos. We plan to use these new photos in an Instagram campaign for ShapeLog, and we'll also be using them in ShapeLog's monthly newsletters. We have great new visual content to work with, and we had a lot of fun at the class!
