Ferocious Digital’s Post

Even a short trip abroad can be impactful. But for those .1% of college students who get international work experience each year, it's eye-opening and life-changing. The daily logistics of navigating a new city in a foreign language and culture - whether commuting, grocery shopping, and of course getting to work early for a meeting - requires critical thinking, problem-solving, and most importantly a self-belief and self-confidence. It's real and it's empowering. From there, you are asked to show up every day ready to tackle a real problem that local entrepreneurs dedicate their life to solving. In the process, you work with diverse teams from different backgrounds and perspectives. It's hard. But the outcome is unbelievably rewarding. Madison worked for a corporate health/wellness company, Frizzant, that offers yoga and health food catering. She'll undoubtedly go on to impress prospective employers for whom Madison will stand out as part of the .1%. We need to get far more students to gain global experience before they enter the global workforce, however we can.

Each semester, Meerkat Media teams up with the University of Florida to work with graduate students studying marketing and public relations. One part of the internship is helping our team maintain social media pages through community engagement. Kaliyah and Megan – two of our fall 2023 intern alums – were kind enough to share a few thoughts on what they learned.

We are thrilled to begin introducing our current cohort of MAGS student-interns! Stay tuned throughout the semester to see their exciting internship stories come to life! 🧳✨ First up is Jasmijn S., who shared the following: "Hi, my name is Jasmijn! I am from the Netherlands and graduated from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam with a Bachelor of Science in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in International Relations at Central European University and Bard MA Global Studies. I am currently interning with the Arts & Culture Advocacy Program at the National Coalition Against Censorship, a non-partisan organization that promotes freedom of expression as a human right. The Arts & Culture Advocacy Program supports artists in censorship disputes and protects their freedom to express views that may be controversial or unpopular through education and advocacy. I am excited to find myself at the intersection of international relations and the arts. I believe that through art we can foster democratic dialogue and illuminate systemic issues in today’s world. I am very happy to be part of an incredible team that is passionate and dedicated to issues of artistic freedom. Furthermore, I am focusing on a personal photography project, treating New York City as my playground - from the particularities of storefronts to the repeatedly photographed landmarks to the mundanity of everyday life in the city. I am planning to refine my photography skills, and maybe you will see a picture of mine on your LinkedIn timeline one day. Anyway, if you are in New York City and want to talk arts, international relations, or both, I would love to grab a coffee!" #nyc #graduateintern #nycexchange #advocacy #globalstudies

As market researchers we have our fingers in all of the pies. Market research is an interdisciplinary industry and we regularly work across fields as varied as product design and innovation, psychology, business strategy, marketing and advertising, anthropology and many more. That's what makes it so exciting! Different expertise is required by such a varied industry and at Magenta, we have developed a diverse team from the ground up with a range of professional and personal experience. We even had a cyberpsychologist join the team last year who we are learning a lot from! In addition to this, we aim to foster a culture of learning and development and do this in lots of different ways: 💻 We offer internship opportunities, we want fresh new ideas and want to be challenged on our views 📈 We each have a personal development budget and are encouraged to spend this in any way we see fit (one of our colleagues attended a stand up comedy course to inject more personality into his presenting style!) ✏ We run peer to peer learning sessions to share knowledge and skills across the team 🥪 We have lunch and learns (we recently got our German moderator to run a session about all things German!) And we'd love to know what else we could be doing. Is there anything tried and tested that you'd recommend? Please let us know in the comments. #BehindTheScenes #Learning #ProfessionalDevelopment

✨ Exciting Externship Milestone Achieved!

Please join us in welcoming our newest intern, Arlene Di Tacchio. Bringing experience from her previous internships along with the knowledge gained while earning her degree in Communication and Society from Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore of Milan, Arlene is well-suited to support with everything from pitch building to content creation. With her internship concluding in July, Arlene will also be assisting our team with upcoming shows including Salone del Mobile.Milano, NYCxDESIGN, and NeoCon. We’re looking forward to having Arlene on the team!  Get to know a little more about her in this Q&A: Q: Where & what are you studying? A: Last September, I graduated in Communication and Society with honors in the faculty of Political and Social Sciences, at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, my hometown. This path introduced me to the world of communication and it allowed me to learn and focus on entrepreneurial strategy, creation, and management of social or advertising campaigns, especially on theoretical aspects such as history, evolution, and current events. It allowed me to fully express my creativity and my personality. Q: Can you share one past or recent learning experience that you loved or that stuck with you? A: An experience that I carry in my heart is my journey as a swimmer. I have been swimming competitively for 13 years, and even if I trained everyday, I have always managed to organize myself between my studies and my passions. It is a sport that has taught me to believe in myself and my abilities. I tend to go against the grain, I love the unusual, I want to differentiate myself and have my say. I put myself out there, and always give my best. Between my wins and defeats, I never stop dreaming. Q: What do you love to do when you’re not studying or working? A: In my spare time I love to create content for social media. I started discovering this world at the age of 14 with the creation of an Instagram profile where I combined images and phrases - since then, I haven't stopped. Being on social media allowed me to understand the inner workings. In my experience, it comes more spontaneously to me to propose original and creative ideas on content to be published, which makes me always look for something that can be innovative and different from the usual. I think outside the box, and try to grasp the best strategy. Compared to when I was writing those short quotes, however, my path has changed. I used to be in social media as a hobby and for self-interest, but over time I realized how fascinated I am of this world and it made me want to learn more about it and take it more seriously. Thanks to the opportunity of doing this internship at Novità I look forward to improving myself and my skills. Q: What’s your favorite food? A: As a true Italian, one can expect pizza as an answer; which is amazing. But, I am in love with risotto alla milanese, and of course gelato!

Heard the one about the 99-year-old Hispanic intern? **KINGDOM - PLANET OF THE APES** Sitting here at the Saban Theater about to watch yet another remake of “Planet of the Apes”, I realize that in Hollywood, if you're Hispanic, your best shot is landing an internship. Getting hired as an experienced homegrown professional? Well, good luck with that. It's clear they're emphasizing diversity DEI in the most condescending way possible, but behind the scenes, it's all just smoke and mirrors. And with respect to this “Planet of the Apes” sequel, you could see the weariness of fellow TV Academy members. The theater was less than one-quarter full. The AI was well done, but somehow you couldn’t relate to the story. It brought much more humanity to the apes than to the humans. If there had been a casting call for apes, it would have been more inclusive than for Hispanics. As the credits rolled, not a single Hispanic name was listed in the entire production. These people are the height of hypocrisy—all their talk about diverse interns while slamming doors shut to real competition and making sure Hispanics are kept out of the industry at large, especially behind the cameras. Seems like we already know how this story will unfold. #CAA #Netflix #20thCenturyFox #wga #ucla #emmys #tvacademy #oscars
