Walker Media, LLC Internship
Social Media & Digital Marketing Intern
I was a digital marketing & social media intern for Walker Media LLC in the summer of 2022. As an intern, I had the opportunity to work in a team to learn about marketing, social media, and self-development. I increased my knowledge and confidence in my abilities to create great content.
I wrote articles for websites, companies, and social media with word counts that ranged from 5,000 to 10,000 words. I created outlines for each piece that aligned with the company's needs. I produced media (images and videos) to enhance the content. I learned to monetize and build blog content with a search engine optimization score of 100. While collaborating with a group to learn, produce projects, and meet deadlines, we created an environment that helped us grow together. I am forever grateful to the Walker Media team!
