      In my second year of my studies Business Management I started a 3 month school project regarding social media training for companies. After these 3 months, companies kept contacting me and asked me to manage their social media channels. In the summer of 2016 I decided to start my own company (VOF) named Bright Social Media while at the same time continuing my studies.

After these 3 months, companies kept contacting me and asked me to manage their social media channels. In the summer of 2016 I decided to start my own company (VOF) named Bright Social Media while at the same time continuing my studies. In my 3rd and last year of my studies, I focused our services on creating the best advertising strategies on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. After a couple of months I had 30 monthly clients and a team of jobstudents. The school even gave me the opportunity to do my final internship in my own company :-) As our team was growing, we decided to rent our first office in a business center. After 11 months and almost the end of my studies, this resulted in a total rebranding. I created "Digital Leader" a strategic online marketing agency with the vision of a transparant and high quality approach for small and medium enterprises Show less

      Haalter, Oost-Vlaanderen When I started my studies management @HoGent, I started working part time (2days and 1/2 exactly) at B&A Technics. My tasks ranged from accounting to performing administration. I also took it upon myself to create and expand the social media channels and to update the website content. By doing so I also expanded the client base, having contacted numerous prospects via social media and over the phone.

      Haaltert , Oost-Vlaanderen During the summer vacation of 2014 I worked as a job student at B&A technics. Using the fiscal knowledge I gained at my previous job (Multifisk) bookkeeping and accountancy no longer held any secrets. I used the excess time gained to do some prospecting via e-mail and phone, which were excellent occasions to further develop my social skills. Furthermore, I was given the opportunity to attend several business meetings and to visit several construction sites.

      Gent en omgeving, België Before starting my professional education as SEO specialist, I decided to take an internship at Goudengids.be. This provided me with practical hands-on experiences. These included implementing and using Google Analytics, Keyword Planner, A/B Testing, Social Media Management and the principles of Search Engine Advertising. I still value these experiences to this day and would like to thank the entire team for having me as their intern.

I would like to thank my internship mentor, Patrick Donckiers, for granting me this learning opportunity and the high praise he gave me on my final evaluation: “Audry is committed, eager to learn and strong in communication. He rapidly integrated into L-Door (the company) and in comparison to previous interns, he scores over 95%. In short, Audry is someone I’d love to have as an L-Door Employee.” Show less
