While about 67% of students who register internships with The American University of Paris choose to stay local and complete their internships in Paris, some return to their hometowns, and others travel somewhere new in order to absorb a different culture. 国产三级片students are global explorers and 国产三级片alumni live and work in 142 countries, covering just about every corner of the globe, so it鈥檚 no surprise that our students use their internships to travel and explore.

My primary responsibility at Proximity BBDO is managing digital marketing projects from start to finish. I coordinate between the client, the web developers, and our in-house project management and creative teams. A typical day for me is a lot like a juggling; it鈥檚 a mix of meetings and tasks to ensure that our website update or email newsletter deploys on time.

My biggest challenge at this internship is getting into the mindset of a project manager. As this is an assistance role I often assist the project managers while working on my own projects. I was pretty stressed out at first but have successfully learned how to manage my time to work as efficiently as possible on a multitude of projects.
My biggest success so far comes from working on my client鈥檚 new email newsletters. Not only did I manage the deployment of the first newsletter, I also spent time researching the next topic and pitching it to the client for its鈥 approval. I really feel that I鈥檝e gained the client鈥檚 trust throughout my internship here and it鈥檚 a big accomplishment for me.

We speak English with our client and other companies on the project.
I鈥檇 say that the biggest goal I have is to work primarily in strategic marketing of digital marketing campaigns. After my internship[ I would love to continue working with the company, whether that be in France or the US. They have offices all over the world. I truly love the work that this company does and hope that I can continue to work with them in the future.

At the end of previous internships I have always left with a feeling that although they were great, it wasn鈥檛 quite the place for me. My internship at Proximity BBDO has not only given me a great experience, it鈥檚 confirmed that I am on the right path.
