Hi Delaney, your internship experience is unique, and I loved reading about your experience as a music lover myself! The music industry is huge with so much creative opportunity! It must have been so interesting to dive into each artist to craft strategies to promote their art since they must all have various needs and styles! Also, it was interesting how you brought up how social is constantly changing, that is an aspect of marketing that I still can’t wrap my head around being that quick to be on top of changing trends. Social media marketing calls for constant creativity, being present in media and even thinking before getting ahead of the trend and this is all very strategic.

Hi Delaney,
Your journey at Manic Kat Records as a remote social media intern in the punk rock scene is truly captivating. Your commitment to immersing yourself in this dynamic world and understanding what resonates with fans is commendable. Your role extends beyond mere promotion, actively shaping the brand’s voice and engaging with the audience on a personal level. The creative freedom you describe, along with the challenge of finding a consistent voice, highlights the fluidity of social media dynamics.

Hi Delaney, I love that you have learned so much from this experience. I never thought of working for a music label, as most of our experiences at Temple are centered around agency work. Your story is a great reminder that advertising is everywhere. Even though you didn’t know what to expect, it’s inspiring that you immersed yourself and learned about things you were unfamiliar with. It’s a super cool experience and I’m sure it’ll help you in the future!

Delaney, your journey at Manic Kat Records sounds like an incredible adventure! It’s inspiring to see how you’ve embraced the punk rock world and used your creativity in the social media realm. Your ability to immerse yourself in a new field, think from the perspective of punk rock fans, and contribute to the label’s voice is truly commendable. It’s evident that your president, Peter, has been a significant source of inspiration, creating a positive and fun environment while running a successful business.

Wishing you continued success as you carry your newfound experience and knowledge into your future endeavors.

This sounds so interesting interning at a punk rock record label! I’d imagine that you were really allowed to go off the rails with whatever you wanted to create/post and it’d be received well from Maniac Kat’s followers. I’m glad that you were able to have some creative freedom, I also had creative freedom at my internship and it makes the environment so much better when you’re not heavily restricted. I have a tip for figuring out how to maintain a brand’s visual presence: create templates! Once you make one post (for example, promoting a showcase once a week), use that as a template and just switch out the text and picture(s). This way you don’t have to rack your brain on designing from scratch every week, plus you can create posts quicker, which means you’re getting them out faster and posting consistently- which the algorithm loves.
