Yes, I was given responsibilities during the second half, such as sending sales emails, communicating with the design agency on preparing sales materials, and representing the TVD team during meetings
It was virtual which made it hard to receive the usual amount of support ad guidance, but I think it was adequate. My manager and VP were very responsive to emails and messages and made an effort to set up 1 to 1 meeting with me weekly
Very friendly, non-hierarchical and team-oriented
It was a great experience, very useful and great way to begin one's career
Yes
This internship is a great way to gain industry knowledge, exposure to media business, commercial sales/distribution and B2B strategy, apply if you are interested in these fields. The transferrable skills are also very worthwhile
