Q+A With Digital Marketing Intern Luke Swanson

Interview with Digital Marketing Intern

As the year ends, we say goodbye to our intern Luke Swanson and wish him the best of luck in his future pursuits! Here is what he had to say about his experience as our Digital Marketing Intern.

Why did you choose to intern with BizCom/Brand J?

I made a great connection with Scott about another opportunity, and when that fell through, he offered me this position. I accepted it because I was excited to have the opportunity to pursue something different than what I had been originally doing, and the prospect of having a new experience was exciting and definitely worthwhile in the end!

Has your view of franchising shifted during your internship?

I didn’t really think about how if you are investing in a franchise and opening your own business, that is entrepreneurship. Viewing it through that lens has really shifted my perception of what franchising truly is and how it effects business in our country.

What advice would you give to those entering the marketing field?

Be ready to learn a lot and be willing to learn. There is so much to what marketing is that goes beyond what you learn in a classroom, so embrace the opportunities you get to learn more about the field.

What was your favorite moment of your internship?

Finally getting to meet all of the BizCom and Brand J people at the BizCom 25th anniversary party! It was great meeting all of the people that I routinely communicated with online!

What do you think is the most valuable skill learned?

Communication is something that I really learned more about. Being a completely remote intern, being able to communicate through different mediums, whether it be email or Slack, is important, and I learned a lot about how to communicate effectively through those mediums.

 

Now for some fun questions…

What is your dream job?

Being a general manager of a baseball team!

Who is your favorite Jedi and why?

Luke Skywalker or Obi-Wan. These two were my first favorite growing up. Plus, Luke and I share a pretty cool name.

What is your most memorable marching band memory?

Senior day this year, or when my school beat our rival in the last time we were ever playing them. Either of those were my favorite memories.
