Greetings from Axiom's Summer Intern!

Hi, all!

My name is Natalie and I am the new intern at Axiom Communications! I want to introduce myself to our wonderful followers. I am a senior at the College of St. Benedict/St. John's University. While there is no specific marketing/advertising degree, I am creating my own with a major in Communication and minor in Economics.

Being involved on campus is extremely important to me. Despite my lack of sportiness I am on softball and sand volleyball intramural teams in the spring. While my teams might not win every game, we sure have fun -- which is what is most important anyways, right? I am also involved with Marketing Club and Joint Events Council, both of which I will be on the executive board of next year.

Last summer I interned for United Cerebral Palsy of Central MN in St. Cloud, MN. My main responsibilities there were creating a social media marketing plan, updating social networks, creating an event website, and getting last-minute projects done for June's golf fundraiser. Of course we had to have a little fun each day -- most of which consisted of discussions of Monday's episodes of The Bachelorette!

One of the best decisions I have made so far is to study in Australia. I spent five months as a student at the University of Notre Dame in Fremantle, WA. Even though I have been back in the US for six months, I still like to think I have the Australian culture in me. Living abroad opened my eyes to a whole new world (literally) of customs and ideas that I hope stick with me! I know what I learned can only help me in the future.

I am so excited to work here at Axiom and learn the in's and out's of a successful agency. We have so much ahead and it'll be busy, but that is when I thrive. This is such a great opportunity and I'll be learning from smart, creative, and friendly people. It is only the first day and already I can just tell it is going to be wonderful!

Introducing Axiom's Newest Intern

Hello!

My name is Ashley and I am the new intern here at Axiom Communications! I would love to take this opportunity to introduce myself. (As I wrestle with my desk chair, try to find the office supplies, and not get lost on the way to the bathroom. Can you tell I'm the new girl?)

I am from the cool lakes and bustling parkways of Minneapolis, MN. I recently graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College with a major in Communication Studies and minor in English. At Gustavus I also did video production work for their Marketing Department, which was both incredibly fun and challenging.

After Gustavus I interned at the Ordway Center for Performing Arts in St. Paul, MN. I worked mostly on media relations, trade negotiations, and of course, attending shows.

I am so excited to be here at Axiom because I am happiest when I can be creative and collaborate with others who love to do the same. Axiom will allow me to gain unique experience in the world of public relations and work with a team of dedicated, innovative individuals. I can't wait to get started! Oh wait, so that's where they keep the stapler...
