CloudHealth Technologies

Digital Marketing Intern

June - August 2019 • Boston, MA

What I liked

I loved my 12-week internship with CloudHealth by VMware (formerly ClouldHealth Technologies before they were acquired by VMware one year ago). As the Digital Marketing Intern, I worked closely with the Digital Marketing team on a number of marketing projects throughout the summer. I personally wrote five blog articles that are published under my name on the company website, focusing on the cloud industry. I copy edited blog articles and other website content and worked with Photoshop to create images for the company's daily tech blog. I also completed various digital marketing projects throughout the summer where I was needed. Finally, I gained experience in SEO, writing meta data copy for blog copy, and web strategy. Overall, I was able to gain incredibly valuable experience, and this internship has steered my future career aspirations to work in a marketing role at a Boston-based tech company.

What I wish was different

I wish that the internship had been in NYC instead of Boston, so that I could have continued my internship into the school year in some capacity. Other than that, I wouldn't change anything about my experience.

Advice

Avoid simply waiting to be given work or told what to do. Instead, be a 'go-getter' and actively look for opportunities to be helpful within your team or the larger company (asking (respectfully) if there are any extra projects that you could jump into to help with that day or week, etc.). Demonstrating that you want to work and try new things makes you a far better intern than only doing what you're told, then sitting around waiting to be given more work.
