About Eco-Friendly Digital Marketing Internship
The Eco-Friendly Digital Marketing Internship is a semester long program designed to train interns in Digital Marketing. Coined ″Eco-Friendly″ because of the minimal commuting, this internship was created to meet the growing demand for digital savvy graduates.
The exciting program is in full swing at Ingenex Digital Marketing headquarters. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, this full-service interactive marketing firm is run by CEO, Derek Mehraban.
Currently focused on social media marketing (SMM), search engine optimization (SEO), digital marketing strategy, and online public relations, the curriculum is poised to carry interns to a new level of digital awareness. The necessary tools to bring our world digital can always change, which is why this hands-on experience is unparalleled in Michigan today.
The Eco-Friendly Digital Marketing Internship will continue to keep in mind the very real issues of today′s fragile environment, while providing a terrific means for recent graduates to expand their education in all things digital.
I recently finished the Masters of Journalism program at Michigan State University, during which I focused on online news production. Previously, I received a BS in Zoology from the Lyman Briggs School at MSU.
I′ve completed three internships in the communication field, two of which were in journalism. I have experience with writing, reporting, and editing. I can create and edit content using text, photos, video and audio. I′m able to create and maintain WordPress blogs and HTML-based websites.
This summer, I developed a website called Supraterranean.com as the final project for my masters program. The site was imagined as an open-access web community for writers and artists to post their creative work, including everything from fiction to short films to experimental multimedia. I currently handle all editing, art direction, and web design for the site.
My professional interests are diverse, and include writing about music, culture, science, and environmental issues, as well as Internet publishing and creative writing. I also hope to increase my experience with web development and graphic design in the near future. Even though I′ve departed from my previous studies in science, I will always enjoy problem solving and analytical reasoning.
I am fluent with Microsoft Office, mostly with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. I am also experienced with Adobe Creative Suite 3, including Dreamweaver, Photoshop and InDesign, with some exposure to Flash. I′m comfortable with Mac applications for editing audio (GarageBand) and video (iMovie), and I have even more experience with Windows.
