To Everyone at
Howell Creative Group,
This October, I proudly became part
of Howell Creative Group as a part-time intern. The reason that I chose Howell
was that I was taking Advertising & Marketing Communications class for my
Marketing major, and that I was hoping to get more hands-on experience in
marketing/advertising. Now that I am approaching the end of my internship, I would say that this experience with Howell is incredibly valuable
to me.
First
of all, I love the workplace. Howell is not a huge agency, but it feels like a
family. At the beginning of my internship, my director Tiffany explained to me
in details about the work style here, and introduced me to the current and past
projects. With her instruction, I quickly got an overall idea of whom we work
with, what kind of job we do, and how we treat our work and our clients in a
caring and professional manner. Also, Howell has a cute way of giving back to
the community, which is to send toys on the clients’ behalf to charity
organizations. When I saw the collection of toys on the top shelf that were
sent out in the past decade, I knew that I came to the right place.
The people you work with are always
a crucial aspect of a job. During the past two months, I had the opportunity to
interact with everyone at work; Tiffany even designed a Scavenger Hunt in order
to prepare me to get familiar with the agency and the people. As a green hand
in the agency, I had questions about almost everything, yet people are very
nice and patient to clarify and provide extra help, especially Kelsey :)
The most important thing is that I
gained great experience in my areas of interest by working on real tasks for
the clients. For the first time, I learned about how to design and place an ad
on social media platforms, and had a chance to do it on my own. I went on a
short business trip with Kathy and sat in face-to-face and virtual client
meetings. I provided copywriting for marketing materials, participated in
preparing for client pitches, and executed initiatives for the benefit of the
client’s business. With Tiffany’s advice and the exposure to professional work
samples, I also got inspiration to create high quality work for my advertising
projects. However, I could not have made so much progress if not for the
generous help and trust that I receive at Howell.
The two months with you has flown by fast. In the
end, I would like to thank everyone for your assistance and friendliness. It
has been a wonderful time with you, and added so much to my professional experience
and capability. I wish you all a happy holiday, and hope to see you again soon!
Sincerely,
Pocket
