Tom, British – Royal Holloway University of London

I took on this internship hoping to learn the fundamentals of SEO content writing. And I did. I’d had a few freelance positions before applying, but it was over this internship that I really got a handle of the style, requirements, and constrictions of writing within a marketing capacity. It’s given my CV a substantial boost, built my portfolio, and prepared me well for work as a freelance content writer. As a bonus, I got to learn about the vital role digital marketing plays for nonprofits and other do-good organizations and the impact it can make there, kindling my passion for this newfound career path. In many ways. It gave me the experience I needed to substantiate my writing skills and deepen my portfolio to serve as proof of this. It also gave me the knowledge necessary to apply my interest for writing to the world of digital marketing and content creation. Best of all, it gave me reasons to be excited about a new field of work, showing me the difference it can make for worthwhile projects and the amazing places the work can take me.
