I started on my Collab Media journey in July 2023, and kick-started an 8-week social media marketing internship after graduating from Teesside University. During the 8 weeks with the team, my knowledge has grown significantly in Digital Marketing.
I’ve developed my time management skills, making sure I don’t spend too much time on one task, developed my graphic designs specifically using Canva and learned how to schedule content using Meta Business Suite. I’ve also gained knowledge on social media strategies, building engagement and the importance of branding. Before starting the internship at Collab, I had no office or agency experience. Currently, I’m a part-time Warehouse Operative at Additional Lengths, where I’m constantly on my feet, so adjusting from that to a office-based role has been a change. However, my time with Collab Media boosted my confidence and facilitated my transition into office life.
Throughout my time at Collab Media, I have completed a range of different tasks, from creating stories and posts for different clients to having the chance to go on-site visits in the local area to create and collect content for clients that we worked with.
I take great pride in having the opportunity to partake in this internship. In just a short span, I’ve had huge personal growth, preparing me effectively for the realities of the professional world. I can’t wait to keep improving my skills as I step into the next phase of my journey.
This internship has made it clear, I definitely want
to pursue a role in Digital Marketing. 
Overall, my internship journey at Collab Media has been incredibly positive. I’m genuinely grateful to the team for their support throughout.
If you’re a university student, I strongly recommend applying for as many internships as you can, especially in fields that match your interests. I found out about the Collab Media internship program while I was at University as it was recommended by past students and my lecturer, and I also came across it on Instagram through Collab’s business account.
