We can always use extra hands and heads around here. This spring, we’ve brought three new interns on board to learn the ropes: Gabbie Papazov, Heather Waymouth, and Francesca Parker. Signing on to our Content, Client Strategy, and Project Management teams, respectively, we think this is the start of a beautiful symbiotic relationship. Let’s explore what they think about their supervisors and experiences thus far.

What was the most shocking aspect of your first week in the office?

“Brice was all ready to give me my own ‘hands on’ projects on day one—awesome!” – Heather

Ultimately, what’s your ideal job description (here or anywhere)?

“One that involves using my creativity and working with a team. I’ve always enjoyed using social media and I’d love to work in the digital world.” – Gabbie

What challenges have you faced so far?

“Learning quick tricks on excel and schedules. I tend to take the long route to accomplish tasks. However, the more I learn, the faster I’ll get.” – Francesca

What are you most looking forward to learning over the course of your internship?

“I’m looking forward to learning about digital marketing and experiencing how Purple contributes to their clients’ successes. I’d love to get a chance to learn from each department and understand how their roles work together.” – Gabbie

Tell us about what your team has you working on.

“I am currently working on organizing the trafficking and budget allocation schedules. I am comparing various schedules to make sure hours are identical and allocated correctly.” – Francesca

Has anyone asked you to get them coffee?

“Yeah, right.” – Heather

Thanks, ladies. We aim to provide the best real-world education possible, and if we’re lucky, to train a few pro ping-pongers along the way.
