Altyrian Interns

I know it’s been a while since my last posting; it’s been a pretty busy week.  I mentioned earlier that John was out last week and left me and Erin a list of things to do.  We got done with most of it during that week and finished up the list in the beginning of [...]

Today I wrote a couple of press releases for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Tour to Tanglewood, a two-day, ninety mile bike ride that raises money for the organization. Other Bike MS events are held throughout the country.
I was excited that the society is using the stories of individuals who participate in the ride [...]

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted so I thought I’d take a few minutes to update everyone on what’s been going on at Altyris. John and his family were at the beach last week so Eunhee and I worked on a bunch of jobs that he left for us. It was [...]

So, John’s been out this week and me and Erin were left a list of jobs to do.  So far, so good.  It’s been a little tougher trying to figure things out and wondering if I’m doing things right or not without anyone to look over my work, but I suppose that’s a good thing.  [...]

Lately, I’ve been trying to learn more about blogging since I’m completely new to the “blog-o-sphere.” I’m shocked at the amount of info there is on blogging and just at the pure number of blogs on the web.

When I first walked in today, I was greeted with a “Happy Monday.”  And so far it’s been a good start to the week.  I was happy and relieved to learn that the press releases I wrote didn’t receive the negative review I was half expecting.  John actually said they were pretty good, which boosted [...]

I saw Iron Man last night and really enjoyed it. I thought it was great that they didn’t try to make it too serious like superhero movies often are…there were a lot of great little jokes thrown in and Robert Downey Jr. even took a few jabs at himself.
There was a little bit of [...]

Yesterday, I worked on a press release and re-edited the podcast I was working on. I was also able to learn a bit about comparing stations for media buying. I really enjoy having exposure to all the different aspects of agency work. Today, the staff was in a meeting the entire morning [...]

Something that is really cool about working at a place like Altyris is that you don’t only get to learn about the advertising business but also about the industries of Altyris’s clients. Today I got to listen to and write about a podcast that outlined the recent breakthroughs in Multiple Sclerosis research and, although [...]
