Internship at Weston Fitness

I started Weston Fitness about 2 weeks ago and everything is going well thus far. My name is Brianna and I am currently an Advertising student with a focus in Art Direction. I will be graduating in May and this is my third internship in the fields of production and advertising. My current projects at Weston Fitness include setting up a new advertisement to promote their gym and try to get people to come join. The ad is for March and is still in the works. Along with that, we are hosting a health fair this upcoming Monday. We will be partnering with KPMG Accounting to promote a healthier and better life to their 750plus employees. At this point, we are confirming other health conscious vendors to make this event more successful. Thus far, we have about 10 vendors that will promote their brand and pass out beneficial coupons or products to the KPMG employees that attend. Since I am an advertising student focusing in Art Direction, I find myself dealing with less art direction ideas, and more public relation tasks. However, I have come to enjoy promoting this gym as well as, having the ability to network with other companies and see how they are run and organized. Therefore, my experience may not have been what I expected, but it has been an effective learning tool for my future. I now feel more comfortable with creating events and talking to other companies via phone and/or email.  Overall, it has been a great experience and I hope it continues to improve my networking skills.
