Joining Impress Video doing an Internship in Digital Marketing
Taking on a new role is always exciting, and starting an internship in digital marketing, even more. Especially when you get the opportunity to be free creatively and through such an artistic medium which is video.
Over the past month, we have been diving into the world of video production and digital marketing, learning how the two come together to create compelling brand stories.
In this blog, we (Mery, Pau, Maria, and Lucas) will share our journey as Junior Marketers during our first month at Impress Video. From our experiences on set participating in video shoots to learning the fundamentals of digital marketing. We’ve already gained invaluable insights into teamwork, originality, and storytelling, and many other skills that will help us shape our future careers.
A Dynamic Learning Experience at Impress Video
Unlike other internships offered by the university, our experience at Impress Video has been hands-on and fast-paced from the start. We’ve had the chance to see how video production works behind the scenes, and what’s even better, our ideas and contributions have been genuinely valued and received.
It’s inspiring to be part of a team where our voices matter, and we can already see how this internship in digital marketing is helping us grow.
Read on to discover what we’ve learned, the projects we’ve been part of, and how we’re embracing this opportunity to develop our creativity, teamwork, and marketing expertise.
Definitely, our intern experience at Impress Video is helping us envision our careers in marketing and media production, and we are starting to grasp the idea of working in this field in the long run.
Mery’s Internship Experience at Impress Video
It’s hard to believe we’ve already been part of the Impress team for a month! After a nerve-wracking interview, and anxiously waiting for the first day at the office, all those anxious thoughts vanished the second I met the team.
From day one, we felt part of something special. Led by Gurmit’s inclusive approach, the entire team embodies this welcoming spirit. Jamie and Harry are always eager to share their work. They made our first day on set a truly enjoyable experience. Marta and Sara have guided us through the fundamentals of digital marketing with incredible care, helping us build a strong foundation in content creation and SEO.
One of my favourite moments was our first studio shoot. Seeing the camera setup, the lighting – all the seemingly obvious details expertly handled by Harry and Jamie – opened our eyes to the intricacies of video production. Experiencing firsthand what filming promotional videos entails was truly immersive.
I particularly enjoyed working with the camera, ensuring the angle was centred and grappling with the myriad of settings (which I’m still getting the hang of!). I realised just how detail-oriented the work behind the camera is, and I never imagined I’d enjoy being behind the camera so much!
Now, we are with exciting projects on the horizon, like optimising blogs about TV adverts to working on exciting projects that will come out soon. This internship in digital marketing is already pushing me out of my comfort zone in the best way possible. I can’t wait to dive headfirst into Impress Video’s future endeavours!
María’s Internship in Digital Marketing Experience
This first month at Impress Video has flown by, and we’ve learned so much already! What stood out to me most was how we were treated as part of the team from minute one. Gurmit, Harry and Jamie have been receptive to all our inputs and feedback ever since day one. So we quickly realised that teamwork at Impress Video would be effortless and truly rewarding. And this made us feel truly part of the team.
Reflecting on my first month here, there’s one day that stands out in my mind, and it’s my first shooting experience ever. We had to film an interview with the Scottish painter, Steven Brown, known for his colourful highland cow representation. The experience was fantastic!
It was an incredible opportunity to see firsthand how video production meets storytelling. I learned the importance of working with clients and creating a good work relationship with them, and to communicate efficiently for the success of the project. Steven and his wife were so kind and patient with us and were a joy to work with.
Moreover, I was in charge of managing the sound that day. Thanks to previous training in the office – led by Harry and Jamie – I felt completely confident. But it was an amazing feeling to contribute to a real client project so early in our internship in digital marketing journey.
Overall, the experience was a 10/10 and I’m so excited to keep working at Impress. The projects are all very fun and are only outshined by the great team here, and the synergy we four interns have with each other.
Lucas’ Intern Experience: Learning & Growing
A month has passed by, and I’m already working as a Junior Marketer at Impress Video. It’s hard to believe! A month ago, the world of digital marketing felt unfamiliar. Now, thanks to this internship in digital marketing, we’re all getting hands-on experience in SEO, content creation, and brand strategy. It’s been an intense learning process, but we’ve supported each other through it.
But my worries vanished when I learned I’d work with three classmates: Pau, Mery, and Maria. We’re constantly bouncing ideas off each other and pushing ourselves to improve.
Gurmit, Jamie, and Harry, have been incredibly welcoming, and our mentors, Sara and Marta, have guided us every step of the way. They all provide resources to help us perform our best. They also guide us through challenges, but this is what is making us learn. Isn’t it?
We’ve completed many online courses, which helps us understand digital marketing better. And now, as we start learning about SEO and digital marketing, we’re also starting to write blogs.
One of the most exciting aspects of the internship is that each of us are going to take care of individual projects, for which we will take a bit of responsibility. Mine is “Build My Home”. It’s an online booklet for customers, which guides them on spending for house building or renovations. I’m excited to take on this project as it comes with real responsibilities. I’m eager to see what the future holds!
Pau’s Intern Experience
Our month doing an internship in digital marketing at Impress Video has been non-stop. We’ve started the basic about digital marketing and about everything happening behind each company’s video shoots. From the start, we’ve been involved in various Impress activities. We’ve shot in the studio with Jamie and Harry. They always include us in projects and ask for our opinions. To sum up: we’ve been actively involved from the start, and I love it.
Starting a new job is usually challenging, but our experience has been smooth. The team’s attitude and workflows make it easy. I was lucky to join a shoot early on. It gave me hands-on experience. I learned behind-the-scenes details from experienced colleagues.
Watching Jamie and Harry in action and getting to contribute to the production process was amazing. We weren’t just observing – we were actively involved, and our input was valued.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to develop here at Impress a well-rounded skill set, from SEO, advertising, video editing, and analytics. These are essential skills that will help us in future roles. And this internship in digital marketing is giving us the perfect foundation.
