My Internship at Creative Agency Secrets – Peter Strömberg

Hi, my name is Peter Stromberg and I’m yet another Swedish intern.

For the past 10 weeks, I’ve been working here at CAS to gain experience within my field. It’s been an interesting 2.5 months with a lot of things happening. With the help of Rebecca, Conrado, Jeremy and Tabhitha, I’ve learned a lot about marketing and what it is like to work at a marketing agency.

I’m very grateful that I was able to travel to the other side of the globe and learn about this amazing country and the people here.

What I Have Learned

My time at CAS has been very rewarding, both professionally and personally.  I’ve done a lot of work with websites, using tools to manage and analyze their performance. A big focus has been on search engine optimization (SEO) and creating great content. For this, I’ve used tools such as Woorank, Seoptimer and good ol’ Google Analytics.

Alongside this, we’ve held two successful events called SEO for Growth where attendees were able to learn the basics on how to manage SEO by themselves.

Besides SEO, I’ve gained knowledge about the whole process of obtaining new clients and nurturing existing ones, by using CRM tools, organizing various workshops and supplying them with reports. While working with clients, I’ve managed their social media and their websites, creating content such as writing blog posts and updating web pages. An additional part has also been to send out newsletters and emails to create interest and awareness of a business.

Even though marketing obviously has been a major part of my internship, I’ve learned quite a lot about leadership during my time here. Through receiving and giving instructions, as well as educating, it has become clearer to me what it takes to obtain structure while maintaining good relations. As Tabhitha joined about two weeks before I left, I got to introduce her to the work I’ve been doing and make sure everything is clear. The use of management tools such as “Teamwork” has given me a deeper understanding of what it takes to complete tasks as a team.

Thank you!

I’d like to send out a big thank you to everyone I’ve had the honor to work alongside with. To Rebecca and everyone at Creative Agency Secrets, but also everyone working at 74D France Street South, thank you for making my time here the best!

Now my long legs won’t bother you anymore 😉 – I will miss you all.

Finally, I’m attaching a video of me and my friend, showing what I do back home.
