As I have been getting settled into the work environment, beginning my assigned tasks, and collaborating more with my coworkers, I have had to make a few adjustments. At the moment, I am balancing my internship course, my internship, my retail job, and two freelance projects. With so much on my plate, I have had to find new ways to stay organized and avoid burnout. I started scheduling everything in my calendar and intentionally setting aside some “me time,” which has really helped me maintain a healthier balance between work and my personal life.
In addition to conducting research for my on how to balance my life, I have also been doing extensive research for my internship. Much of my work has focused on identifying influencers and developing marketing strategies for the company. They are launching a new product this summer, and partnering with influencers and content creators is a major part of their marketing strategy for reaching potential customers. This experience has given me valuable insight into the research and planning that goes into developing a successful marketing campaign before a product is even released.
