New overseas marketing intern settles in

Hola! My name is Esther and I’m 21 years old. I am currently in my third year of International Business studies at the Avans University of Applied Sciences in Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands.

I chose to study International Business because I have always been interested in social media marketing and travelling to new places. I find it very interesting to experience other cultures and lifestyles.

Marketing internship

For my studies, it was required to go abroad to carry out an internship, which was ideal for me. I was very excited for this opportunity because I really want to gain new experiences and learn more from professionals in the workplace. Due to COVID-19 this opportunity was taken away from me in September 2020. However, I didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity of a marketing internship abroad, so I took a semester off and just worked full-time. During this work period I had a lot of contact with customers and helping to fulfil their needs.

Joining the Manifesto team

September 2021 came along and I received the news that we could travel to Spain again! Now that I am finally settled in Marbella and starting to do my marketing internship at Manifesto Design, I can’t wait to see what this will bring me. I am very excited to learn a lot more about SEO, the best way to interact with clients, to manage and grow social media account for clients, content creation and other marketing tools. Miraculously, I feel like I have already learned a lot within the one week that I have been working here.

In addition, as part of my internship I have to write a marketing and communication plan. Therefore, I will have to do a lot of research about the best way to promote a certain product. For this marketing plan I have until the end of January, however, in school we have already prepared a lot of projects for real companies and in this way I have already gained some experience.

Overall, my first impression of the Manifesto Design team is very good. I am very excited to move on with this internship and learn as much as possible while I am here!
