Will Eagle

Natalie came to MTV in the most fortuitous of ways. She happened to run the most popular Facebook group for the show The Hills before social media was even a real thing. Her social media postings of our links made her MTV.ca's largest single referrer from a social site, and so it was inevitable that we'd ask her to join the marketing team as a digital marketing and social media intern. Always dependable, Natalie was an invaluable help and resource, not just with the tasks set, but above and beyond, contributing to our conversations and understanding of the demographics interests. She was the first person to highlight the impending, all dominating popularity of the Twilight series, before anyone on the MTV marketing team even knew what it was. Natalie has an exceptionally bright future for whichever path she takes, thanks to her motivation, energy and personality, and for those reasons, she comes highly recommended.
