My Experience at Epiklabs

For my Advanced Marketing Internship class at Champlain College, I have been working at EpikOne as a Sales/Marketing intern. So far this experience has been great and I have already been immersed in many projects. I have worked closely with many of EpikOne’s experienced staff members such as my manager Paul Skarvinko, Jabez Boyd, and Marc Bujold. Whenever I have a question or run into a problem, they are able to make time and help me learn ways to solve them.

One of the first tasks that I was assigned was to work on Seminars For Success. Seminars For Success allows Google Analytic users of all levels to learn the basics or expand their knowledge from Google Analytic Authorized Consultants. It is a two day in-person series that covers everything from basic setup of Google Analytics to advanced features like visitor segmentation and other new features. I was tasked with finding a venue to hold the seminar in Philadelphia. I needed to research all available hotels in the area and also if there would be any other competing events around that time. I then called the various hotels to gather basic information such as cost, which we used to narrow down the list of hotels. Once the list was narrowed down, I was responsible for getting a quote and contract proposal from the hotels. Finally once the contracts arrived, we were able to make a decision to hold the Seminar For Success at the Hilton Garden Inn on March 23-24 in Philadelphia.

Being able to work on this project was a great learning experience. It allowed me to take a project from the beginning stages all the way to having contracts signed. It also helped me develop critical interpersonal skills that will be extremely valuable in the future. I am now also working on signing up other venues for the Seminars for Success series!
