Structured to Succeed

At EpikOne, one day is never similar to another. The time I have spent so far at Epik has been full of an ever changing list of tasks with their own set of requirements and problems. This is where having a flat company structure excels. This creates an ideal atmosphere for learning a wide range of skills. I am mainly a Sales/Marketing intern and work with Jabez Boyd and Marc Bujold. Some of the tasks I have been able to help with range from negotiating with hotels for Seminars For Success and qualifying and contacting leads. I have also been able to worth with Paul Skarvinko. For Paul, I have been able to work with Google Analytics and AdWords for AnalyticsView. I have found this work to be very rewarding. I have been studying Analytics and Adwords and expressed interest in getting my hands dirty to learn more about these products. The open structure of the company has allowed me an opportunity to work on a variety of jobs and projects that I am interested in.

I have also found that the employees at EpikOne are more than willing to take some time out of their day to work with you. Clearly they are willing make sure that myself and the other interns succeed. Not only are we able to achieve a higher quality work, but it allows us to further our industry knowledge and skills. A true win-win situation! What could be better then learning from some of the industry’s best?

The analytic industry is still a relatively new industry and it has been exciting to work with EpikOne. It is great to see the innovation that comes along with companies who are leaders in their field. Software that Epik has developed like SiteScan and AnalyticsView continue to help companies make the most out of Google Analytics everyday. It is amazing to see how fast things move in a rapidly evolving industry.
