Being The MOST At What I Do
Hey everyone! I’m Audrey and I am currently a Sophomore Advertising Major with a concentration in Brand Strategy. I’m currently interning at a Cannabis Consulting Group, MOST. We are the only consulting, marketing and design firm on the east coast for cannabis.
As I’m currently sitting in my comfortable bed back in Langhorne, it’s a blessing that I’m still able to work from home during this very strange, new time. Just being able to still communicate and come together as a team and support one another makes me feel much more positive about this situation. Overall, the experiences that I have gained from working at my company up until now has shown me where my career is headed, with all the amazing insights that I have gained has made me work harder towards my career goal.
I have met such inspirational people in the cannabis industry from the moment I walked into my office. Being able to be a part of such a new concept in business for Pennsylvania, with hopes of it becoming recreational sometime soon – I was facing so many challenges that made me want to work harder for this industry to succeed with amazing help from co-workers. Being able to be a part of this new experience is going to change my career path in the long run!
My job has been so fun, being able to work with creative, funny, and down to earth people in this industry has made me appreciate my time at my company. I took on this internship thinking I would only be a part of advertising, but my co-workers allowed me to think outside the norm and have my hands on important projects.
One of the many experiences that happened was being able to write our new press release for our rebranding and they sent it out. With that experience, along with so many others – I’ll remember that I’m now apart of that industry forever because that is a piece of me that I wrote.
Advice that I can give you? Don’t settle for the norm. Step outside of your comfort zone with new and inspiring roles! But always make sure you are taking a job you think you’ll enjoy in the long run as a potential career path.
I think this a very interesting opportunity Audrey. The idea of consulting for prospective cannabis sales companies is definitely a brand new concept. I think it’s great that you got into the industry right at its beginning because it could be a very profitable industry in the near future, almost like the next big thing. The skills acquired through advertising and marketing can applied to so many genres and different business avenues and this proves it.
Hi Audrey!
I really enjoyed your blog post and I definitely agree with you that being able to work from home is a massive blessing. I also was able to work from home for a bit and I believe it shows the company’s dedication and respect for interns 🙂 It is so exciting being part of a new concept and being able to share your ideas and say that you were part of that movement. It is inspiring and I feel like will drive motivation for you to always come up with new ideas knowing that you have support from those around you. I loved your advice at the end and I give that advice to others all the time when asking about making the most of your college career. I hope things are going well and I wish you all the best success in your future!
Hi Audrey! I never even know there were consulting firms for cannabis. I’m glad you were able to continue remotely, it sounds like you’re having a great time at your internship!
