Lifestyle of an intern (and of course, he loves it here)
I began my post undergraduate career at Entertainment Cruises as a marketing intern in their corporate office in mid-May. On my first day, I was greeted by a large white “Welcome Aboard, Tim!” sign that graced my cubicle wall in the heart of the marketing department. On my very first day, I met many employees at Entertainment Cruises and everyone had a welcoming, cheery attitude. While being shy at first, I quickly opened up to the fun atmosphere that surrounded me on a daily basis and the employees who were excited to come to work. After the completion of my first week, I knew why they didn’t come to work just for the paycheck. Entertainment Cruises employees are friends who act like family and have forged relationships over the many years they have been with the company. I realized that a lot of their camaraderie was a result of O.S.S. My fellow shipmates live by the values of O.S.S. which I quickly learned about on my first day and integrated into my daily life. I spread the word of O.S.S. to my family, friends, and classmates since it is an innovative way to lead a workplace.
As the corporate marketing intern, I have assisted with national marketing initiatives in all the Entertainment Cruises cities. My duties have included researching potential partnerships, helping prepare onboard sweepstakes, tracking online reviews from sites like Yelp! and Trip Advisor, and communicating with you, our fans, through Facebook and Twitter. I have mainly been working on maintaining the Facebook pages for our cities by posting interesting content and talking to fans about their experiences on the fleet. I have a similar duty on the ever popular Twitter, a more recent addition to the marketing department. We have been doing contests and deals that are exclusive to Twitter. Be on the look out for more deals in the upcoming weeks.
