PRISM prides itself in being an organization dedicated to hard work and higher career achievement l, and this summer, PRISM members have dispersed across the country to do just that! From New York to California, sour members are spending their summers gaining valuable internship experience interning at places like American Express, Dicks, Altria, Adobe, and so much more. Check out how our PRISMites are broadening their business horizons so far!
Our own Culture Lead and Account Manager Rana Ahmed is having the best time interning at American Express as a cybersecurity analyst.
“So far, I’ve learned the value of a healthy and supportive work environment, as well as the power of data and being able to analyze it to not only answer questions, but find out what the right questions to ask are! During my time as Director of Analytics in PRISM, I learned the importance of critical thinking and how to properly and efficiently tell a story using data. This skill has been so helpful to me as I’ve navigated my new role at American Express!”
PRISM analyst Caroline Keys is making waves and learning so much as a Digital Marketing intern at Trane Technologies.
“I’ve managed and maintained over 2,000 Salesforce contacts, analyzed competitors’ webpages, composed findings and recommendations, and effectively presented them to three different teams. I’ve also authorized six emails with effective segment targeting and thoughtful design and layout. PRISM gave me hands-on experience with social media marketing which has directly translated into the work that I’m doing with digital marketing–one example being my experience with Hootsuite and marketing analytics, which have given me a substantial competitive advantage.”
Director of PRISM graphics, Abby Conrad is working on continuing to grow and amaze as a UX Design Development intern at Wray Ward.
“I have learned more about different processes when it comes to web design, and I have actually learned a lot about organization! I have worked on site maps, making websites for both desktop and mobile, and doing research. The setup of PRISM is very similar to working at a professional agency! I do work with a copywriter, project manager, insights person, etc., so I was already used to working with people from these roles!”
PRISM Account Executive Dhara Patel is enjoying her time at Richmond Region Tourism.
“At my internship so far I have been analyzing data through an SEO (search engine optimization), then tracking the number of visitors and where they come from. Then I use that to make digital media campaigns and target them to certain locations. I have also been working with a “CRM” database to help keep the information in the website accurate, working on video shoots, planning them, and rebranding and relaunching the company's YouTube channel. PRISM has helped me a lot with the content side of what I do and it’s nice to share what I’ve learned with my mentor because we bounce ideas off of each other.”
Account Manager Elizabeth Britt has gained amazing experiences as a Digital Marketing intern at RedPeg Marketing.
“I have had the privilege of traveling to New York City to assist with events leading up to the 2022 NBA Draft, including the first ever 500 drone drone show set to take place in the New York City area. I have also created social media content and posts and completed competitor analysis for clients. So far, I have learned the importance of networking in and outside the office, as well as the old saying “no idea is a bad idea.” As an intern, sharing your ideas with your team can be nerve-wracking, but you never know what campaigns or projects can stem from an idea you pitch. PRISM has prepared me tremendously for this role, especially when it comes to time management..”
PRISM is thrilled with the accomplishments its members have achieved so far this summer at their various internships. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the summer brings our members, and we can’t wait to reunite in the fall!
