Earlier this week, the FHNY interns went head to head in a mock “new biz pitch” for one of FH’s new clients. The assignment allowed me to realize the skills I’ve developed over the summer and establish a benchmark for my professional presentation skills. The whole process was intense – long hours and competition among peers. I couldn’t have loved it more.
Wrapping up my internship over the next couple weeks, I realize why this internship receives nearly 500 applicants each session. From the AT&T iPhone 3G launch to the launch of several limited edition Reebok shoes, the breadth of client work and the size of accounts have been unbelievable. While the tasks are menial at times, there is great value in the program. Media training with Morri Berman, the Omnicom Internfest and the intern RFP project are the most memorable.
My summer working with FH in NYC has been the opportunity of a lifetime. Sad to go, I’m happy to take the next step along my career path. Watch out Toronto, I’m in a New York state of mind.
