Intern Intros: Brittany Sheehan, Marketing Intern

In this new blog series, we’re introducing Sunbird’s interns for Summer 2016. This post shares the perspective of Brittany Sheehan, our Marketing intern who is approaching her junior year.
 
I am currently a rising junior at Loyola University Maryland majoring in Digital Media and minoring in Marketing. However, this fall I will be studying abroad at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom.
 
What I like most about my major is the relevance it has in today’s society. Because we live in such a technological era, digital media applies to many different aspects of companies, not only marketing. However, what I like about marketing is the psychological aspect. It is interesting how all-marketing strategies and messages are centered on what creates a consumer response, regardless of the service or product.
 
I hope to learn a lot from my experience at Sunbird because I believe that hands-on experience is the best way to have a clear idea of what kind of job you want to pursue. I hope to use what I have learned from my classes so far and incorporate them throughout my internship. For example, I am becoming more familiar with Adobe software like InDesign and Illustrator. I also want to challenge myself to engage in projects that are outside my comfort zone.
 
What I like most about Sunbird’s company culture is their fast-paced environment and the attention to detail. For example, their website employee page includes both a picture and gif for each employee, which is something I have never seen before. It is especially important to focus on details when in a fast-paced environment because it builds and shows a stronger brand and identity, which is something that Sunbird has definitely mastered.
