Rubik Joshi’s Post

I’m pleased to share that I recently completed an internship with Morph Management in Boston, where I had the opportunity to work with their marketing operations team. During my time there, I focused primarily on Verizon, my client, and took on several key responsibilities: Competitor Analysis: Conducted in-depth competitor analysis to help Verizon refine its market positioning and develop strategic improvements. Data Analysis & Strategy Development: Utilized tools like Google Analytics and Power BI to analyze customer data, uncover insights, and develop strategies for higher market penetration and enhanced marketing effectiveness. Customer Data Management: Worked on optimizing service quality and reducing waste by effectively managing and analyzing customer data. Waste Management Program: Contributed to developing a waste management program within the operations department. Used Microsoft Project to streamline processes, create efficient critical paths, and enhance overall workflow. Industry Research: Conducted research on industry trends to ensure that marketing strategies were aligned with the latest market developments. This internship has been an invaluable learning experience, enhancing my skills in data analysis, strategic planning, and process optimization. I want to extend my gratitude to the Morph Management team for their support and mentorship. I am also deeply grateful to Krish Zaver for his unwavering support throughout my internship. His guidance and encouragement were instrumental in my professional growth. I’m excited to apply these skills in future opportunities and continue driving impactful operational strategies. #OperationsManagement #ProcessOptimization #DataAnalysis #WasteReduction #StrategicPlanning #ProjectManagement #OperationalExcellence #CustomerData #Efficiency #IndustryTrends

Fond memories triggered by all these National Intern Day posts! Looking back on my intern days (over 20 years ago, eek), I am so grateful for the experiences I had with two different companies/organizations, both still going strong today. 👏 Shout out to the folks at the Wisconsin Innovation Service Center at UWW for giving students amazing, real-world experiences in research, product development and go-to-market strategy! 👏 And another shout out to Palmer Hamilton (formerly Palmer Synder Furniture) for enabling me all those years ago to digitize their contract records, and create a database with renewal alerts - all before I even knew what a CRM system was! To see how much the company has changed in 20 years is a great example of adaptation and strategy at work! Each of those experiences helped me build a foundation for skills I still use today and gave me exposure to the types of work I love. And when I had interns on my team, those experiences shaped my style of leadership - to give them real, challenging projects (and feedback), to provide exposure to other professionals and leaders, and to give as much business context for what they were doing as possible. And most importantly - to give them room to share ideas and to actually listen to them! Get after it interns, you'll do great things!

It answers the fundamental question: "Why should customers choose you over others?"🧐 A strong USP serves several critical functions: 🔹Differentiation: It helps businesses stand out in a crowded marketplace by highlighting what makes them unique and valuable. 🔹Relevance: It addresses the specific needs, desires, and pain points of the target audience, making the offering more compelling and relevant. 🔹Competitive Advantage: It provides a competitive edge by offering something that competitors cannot easily replicate or match. 🔹Brand Identity: It contributes to building a strong brand identity and fostering customer loyalty and trust.

Last week marked the midpoint of my Communications internship at Cook Medical... June really had somewhere to go! I wanted to jot down my reflections on the most important lessons learned the past six weeks: 1. "We work in Marketing and Communications, nobody is gonna die!" This is what my mentor Molly Cunningham told me the very first week of my internship. Work will always be there, she said, so I might as well take good care of myself, make my time off my time off, and come back rested rather than overwork and still cannot get everything done. 2. GEMO (good enough to move on) Another great piece of advice that Molly gave me - I'm not a perfectionist, but there are things that I'm passionate about and keep revising to improve them. That can end up in a loop that eventually makes me feel uninspired, halts progress, and takes away chances for collaboration. GEMO should not be an excuse to slack off but rather a way to ensure work progress and leave mental spaces for other tasks. 3. Don't take things personally Laura Holland said this was something that she wishes she knew early on in her career. This mindset keeps me open to learning curves and receiving feedback, but also reminds me that if somebody is extremely aggressive in giving me feedback, it is not necessarily a reflection of my ability. 4. You can learn to be more emotionally intelligent Knowing which type of personality will match a workplace and adjusting your communication style to work smoothly with different people are skills that can be learned. In the words of Justine Hines, MBA, there will be many hills that I want to die on while working on different projects, but it is important to know which hill is worth dying on, so that I can honor both my personal values and need to be a team player. Here's to hoping that July will not fly by so quickly, but well, time... I look forward to learning what you are doing over the summer, friends! 💕 P.S. This photo was taken right before I got home and lost power for a day because of the thunderstorm in Bloomington, fun times!

A question to unlock your future: What am I not achieving simply because I haven't asked? #30days30contents When Steve Jobs was 12 years old, he cold-called Hewlett-Packard co-founder Bill Hewlett and asked for spare computer parts. It led to a summer internship and further stoked a curiosity that never went away. The story offers an important reminder: Closed mouths don’t get fed. There is something in your life that you deserve but haven't achieved, simply because you haven't asked for it yet. If you want something—and you’ve done the work to earn it—go ask for it. Worst case—you’re told no. Best case—it’s yours. Most of the people you admire are willing to help. They received help on their journey and want to pay it forward. But you have to do the work to earn that help. The old adage to sit back and wait for good things to happen is terrible advice. A little push goes a long way.

Yesterday, my 14-year-old son couldn’t control his excitement - he'd just landed an internship with a top athletic wear brand. It got me wondering, why would a globally recognized brand, with access to the best talent, be interested in a 14-year-old? The answer, it seems, lies in the brand’s desire to understand Gen Z and Gen Alpha better. It's no secret that these generations operate differently from their predecessors. They are born bang in the middle of the digital age. This is a generation which communicates in images and memes with social media intertwined in their lives. Today the phones we use are in most cases more powerful than the desktops/laptops that we have been using since decades. If we look at the last decade it has been nothing short of a revolution for each and every one of us. We do most of our shopping online, order food, order groceries, book cabs, book hotel rooms all at our fingertips through apps on our phones. I believe this is just the beginning and one can only wonder what the world will be like in 2034. The challenge as an individual and more so as a parent is to not only understand and navigate the ever changing external environment but also to provide the right guidance and insight to the upcoming generation. What are the lessons here for businesses? At the end of the day, businesses need to change and adapt quickly. Hence, constant insights help them engage with these young consumers through their preferred platforms and in their language. It’s important to get in the shoes of the future consumer. After all, to understand them, one needs to not only listen but also involve and let them lead the way. So, while I was initially surprised by my son's news, I now see the brilliance in it. It's a win-win situation for the brand and for young people like my son, who get an early start in the business world. I can’t wait to listen to his experiences on what he is building as part of his internship. He was always curious about how businesses work and this gives him a great opportunity to learn in the best way possible - by actually getting his hands dirty and doing stuff. So here's to my son, to the next generation, and to the businesses smart enough to recognize their worth. The future, it seems, is already here!
