Agency Internship
What I do
I work as an Account coordinator Intern at an agency called "ThomasARTS".
I am part of the New York team, and have been able to help create work primarily for the clients Aetna Medicare, CVS, and bswift. The campaigns we have created have a reach of 1,000,000+ members per year, and we have had budgets from $10,000 to over $500,000. The total amount of money scoped for the accounts that I've worked on is in the millions.
What I've learned
-
Relationships are key. Building a great relationship with your clients and your team creates better work and makes things run much more efficiently.
-
Proof, proof, and proof some more. Always check work multiple times before sending it to the client.
-
Listen and ask questions. Understanding exactly what the client wants is the only way to ensure that they get what they are expecting
-
Manage expectations. Managing expectations with clients and with your team ensures no one is surprised and things run smoothly.
