First Day at Chugg

So I’m not sure how much I told everyone about my internship, but basically, Chugg Entertainment is a small company that promotes and produces concerts. It is my dream job. It is the perfect combination of my love for marketing and music.

Today was my first day, and aside from the fact my new shoes rubbed bleeding blisters into my heels before I was even half way through the 25 minute walk…(I had to stop at a drugstore to buy band-aids) it was fairly uneventful. Susan is my main supervisor, but I am there to help anyone who needs anything. First she showed me around the office and introduced me to everyone that was there (I maybe remembered 5 of the 15 something names ahah) I have a desk in the middle of the office like everyone else.

My “semester” long project will be to update…read – “create” a myspace page for them because theirs is currently beyond outdated and in desperate need of a makeover. I also made a database of around 530 contacts from a list of email address she emailed me. (thank god I love making lists in excel…because that is what I did for the majority of my 8 ½ hours there today) When I wasn’t working on that, I helped another woman (I just blanked on her name…dang it) write a press release for an artist (i'm not sure if it's public knowledge yet, and I don't want to get in trouble for spilling the beans too early so...yea) who just announced that his/her tour is going international. I had no idea what I was doing, but she was really nice and helped me figure it out. I think it ended up pretty good. I’ll put the link up when it actually gets published.

Yup…so that was my day. I am so excited to see what else I get to do. With my schedule more regular now I should be able to keep this updated a lot more consistently.
