How would you describe your day-to-day at Blue Note Entertainment Group?
My daily routine and tasks included building out email blasts, doing audience research for social media marketing and ad campaigns, building the links and copies for said ad campaigns (though not actually posting them as they have a designated person for it), social media brainstorming, simple content creation, posting/reposting content, caption brainstorming and content review. I did most of those daily in some capacity so got to work through them pretty constantly which was very helpful.
It was a small office with lots of people working. It was very interesting to see the close-knittedness of the group for the most part. Though because Blue Note Entertainment Group shares one office for all of its teams for most of its venues, the teams from different venues don't interact much with the other ones despite sharing the office. It was still good and and you could see people worked well together within each team too.
It was a close-knit environment where each team worked really well together!

What aspect of your internship was most rewarding?
Being able to build and understand ad campaigns and email blasts geared towards a highly specific sector of the music industry.
This internship has met my expectations. It will help me with my long-term career/professional goals by allowing me to build my network within NYC's live industry and understand how marketing works in that particular sector.
In what way did ArtBound Initiative helped you the most?
ArtBound Initiative helped me the most to truly secure an internship in my dream industry and location in a very timely and most efficient manner. Once we aligned on goals (given my school's changing requirements), I received all support and easiness to secure an amazing internship really fast which provided great peace of mind.
ArtBound Initiative helped me secure an internship in my dream industry and location quickly, with the support and guidance I needed throughout the process.
