Chapter 6: A Photo Finish
With our final week upon us, we knew we had to finish strong – not only with our Diamond campaign, but with the internship altogether. Over these past six weeks, we’ve learned a LOT. Like, a lot LOT.
Besides gaining valuable industry experience and campaign knowledge, we learned interpersonal communication and how to manage work-life balance. We faced many challenges over the course of our campaign: losing a team member, the flu, sinus infections, and the dreaded start-of-August-college-move-in period. Despite all this, we finished strong and put together a rockin’ campaign.
The first half of our final day was filled with excited anxiety – adding finishing touches to our campaign, practicing our pitch, and cleaning up our deck. The second half was bittersweet – goodbyes to our mentors and other friends we’ve made along the way.
So, for one last time…
Hey Adpollo 11, what advice would you give to the Summer ‘22 Launchpad Interns?
“Meet as many people as possible! HLKers come from all different backgrounds. You never know what you may have in common with someone! Make the most of Slack, email, Linkedin, and your coffee chats!”
“Take everyday one step at a time. Don’t be afraid to ask questions – people are there to help you, and nobody expects perfection.”
“Trust the process! Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was a perfect creative plan!”
“Take your time getting familiar with your role, and don’t be afraid to ask questions!”
“Bond, bond, and keep bonding with your team! They will take you far!”
Before we sign off…how could we end this internship without some pomp and circumstance? Cue Adpollo 11’s Launchpad Superlatives!
