This week was our first week in the office. I was lucky enough to get this internship with my good friend Wyatt, and we work in the office on the same day, which is Wednesdays. When we got there, we were given a tour by the promotions department which is Vicki and Jordan. Vicki then gave us some contests on both of the stations’ websites to write social media posts for Facebook. We also witnessed our first Animal Friends live stream. This is when we bring in a pet from the Animal Friends shelter and have a live stream to get the pet adopted. This week was pretty funny because someone that works at the station ended up getting adopted. The dog’s name was Chompers. Since this was the first week we just watched all what was expected of us during this live stream. We finished writing social media posts and that was our first day!
Later in the week on Saturday, there was a big event the station held at the Waterfront. They were hosting an event for food trucks to come and for people to and enjoy some food and entertainment. The interns were mostly just setting up tables and chairs in the beginning. We then moved to sitting at the stations’ tables, I was at the Q92.9 tent. People came up to try and win concert tickets and a t-shirt. Me and another intern later went and gave out maps and drinking wristbands to the people coming in at the gate. We walked around a bit to see what the food trucks had, and I ended up seeing one of my roommates from freshman year there with her mom. Eventually, we were given hats and the whole day was exhausting and exciting day!
