I was encouraged to always share my ideas and felt like I was a valued member of the team! I also enjoyed being able to try many different types of marketing (social media, trade shows, CRM, etc.).

Advice
Don't be afraid to share your ideas. At first I was afraid to speak up during meetings and thought "why would my opinion matter? I'm just an intern." But even as an intern, I had unique perspectives and ideas to bring to the table.

The culture of soundoff was by far the most welcoming I have ever experienced. Everyone was on the same page and helped me through things I wasn't sure about.
What I wish was different
I did a lot of data entry but it wasn't bad.
Advice
Working well with your co-workers makes all the difference. Having the confidence to ask questions when you aren't sure is super important and builds trust.
