WOW! My name is Amiah & I had the fantastic opportunity to intern with Embark Marketing this summer, and I couldn’t be more grateful for everything I learned. Being a student at Iowa State University and coming from out of state, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I was nervous at first about stepping into the professional marketing world. From the very first day, I was greeted with nothing but welcoming support from the team, which quickly made me fit right in.
I can’t begin to thank Kim, Embark’s CEO, enough for taking me under her wing. She took the time to teach me how to respond to reviews, manage social media through SproutSocial, and create content. She helped me discover skillsets I didn’t even know I had yet. Her guidance, combined with the encouragement, gave me confidence and helped me see a clearer path toward a future in marketing.
During my time at Embark, I gained hands-on experience in a wide variety of marketing tasks writing press releases, creating graphics, blogging, and managing social media accounts. I learned not only how to complete these tasks, but also the strategy behind them. Each responsibility strengthened my organizational, technical, and design skills.
Looking back, this internship not only gave me new skills, but also confidence to know I’m pursuing the right career path in marketing. I’m grateful to Kim and the entire Embark team for their support and guidance, allowing me to learn skills that I can lead into my future career.
To the next Embark interns, get ready for an experience of a lifetime. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and try out things outside of your comfort zone, that’s where you will learn the most. Kim and the team are so supportive, and they genuinely want to see you succeed, so take advantage of all the knowledge they’re willing to share.
Thank you, Embark Marketing, for making this summer such an impactful and rewarding experience!
