• Marketing Intern

  • Jul 2014 - Aug 2014

  Being an intern was definitely far different from what I expected. I was not expected to make endless cups of tea, not led into following everyone’s footsteps or photocopying and completing dead-end jobs. At Optillion I not only attended meetings with clients, experiencing first-hand the formalities of how Optillion worked with companies, I was given the opportunity to write blogs, website content, Meta descriptions and Ad Words, each of which were published online. Some may think that an art history degree and marketing do not go together. The audience however is the same, the visual impact of art or a website is crucial and highly influential. I therefore used what I had learnt in my first two years at university to adapt to impacting the perception of a target audience. Show less

  A truly invaluable experience aiding the organisation and set up of the stall for 'Strachan Fine Art' and assisting on three days of the event. An expert in their fields each of the dealers gave me a constructive insight into art dealing in the UK. Art dealing is not only about having an inherent interest in the subject but also having an extensive compilation of research that allows one to gain the trust of a customer and sell convincingly.
