I got to learn a lot about acquiring new clients and the media industry in general. My whole team was incredibly helpful and had a lot of experience so they were able to guide me as I tried to figure out what I wanted to do full time.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have experienced working on other teams, but they had presentations throughout the summer that showed what each team does and we got to do Q&A sessions with upper level employees on those teams.
Advice
Reach out to different people and make your own opportunities happen because most people will say yes to you or help you out with whatever you need if they know you're interested.

What I liked
I worked with real companies to help in their advertising campaign strategy. I also pitched real ideas to one of our clients for the 2020 term. You learn everything about the Interpublic Group and about all types of media advertising.
What I wish was different
I wish my team was not in the middle of working on a pitch because I had nothing to help with for 2 weeks. My team was really stressed and finalizing all their components of the pitch.
Advice
Ask questions, be open-minded, try to help any way you can, and explore all departments
