This past month has been a hectic month for all of the interns. Being introduced to the world of BambooSK8 has been a roller coaster ride. Learning the ways of every individual job that works BambooSK8 (Marketing, Social Media, PR) was a little rough to chew at first but with a little guidance I think we are all starting to finally get into the flow of things. Although I do get confused on some things, I am learning a lot, especially in social media, which I am in charge of, I’m learning what steps you have to take to really get your company out into the world and make your voice heard through social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. My biggest road block in this internship is definitely Hookit. Although it is not a difficult system to understand, it is a major part of this internship, especially for the leaders, Kyle and I. A lot of time and devotion needs to go into Hookit to make sure kids we add to our eco tribes are really doing what they need to do in order to keep their sponsorships and move on to higher levels within them.
On a lighter note there were a lot of fun events this first month that we attended like the Cardiff surf event and the channel 6 news tarp surfing. (I will include some pictures at the end of those events.) Another highlight of the month was our intern bowling night, we all found out how horrible we are at bowling, or at least I did, but it was a really good time to get to know who we will be working with for the next four months, and maybe even longer.
I also have had the privilege to do my true passion within the company and photograph any events and products BambooSK8 attend/come out with, so I’ve had a lot of fun with that.
