 Confessions of a Marleylilly Marketing Intern

This fall I had the opportunity to intern at Marleylilly as the marketing and creative team intern. Before interning here, I had no idea how many hands went into creating the beautiful personalized products that we all know and love. From product development to the people packaging and shipping each order, there is a long line of hard working individuals making sure that our customers love their new monograms. Below, I’ve put together a list of things I’ve learned about the company, as well as myself, over the last 5 months while at #MonogramHQ!

The thing that makes this company so great is the people. Everywhere you look there is a full-time employee eager to answer your questions and push you to dig a little deeper in order to produce the best possible flatlay, photo, Instagram graphic, product video, or blog post. There were days where I felt like a task was too big for me to handle alone and my self doubt was quickly combated with an encouraging word. 

We spent most days working hard but never passed up the opportunity for some team bonding. From Halloween parties, to intern dinners, to accidentally twinning “groutfits” with Cliff, I was made to feel like a valued member of the team. I’m biased but I definitely think that we had the best group of interns. Having people to learn the company at the same time as me made for great collaboration opportunities and bonding experiences.

My number one tip for anyone working in marketing is to be flexible. A typical day for me consisted of creating social media posts, taking photoshoot footage, producing videos, and sometimes modeling shoes, jewelry, bags, and tops (see above). Having a role in all of these processes gave me a deeper understanding of how lighting, product placement, angles, and color contrast work together to make our products look the most realistic on your computer screen. 

I was also tasked with launching and running our Tik Tok and Reels accounts (bottom right). This was quite the learning process as social media algorithms are constantly changing and updating. It became a trial and error adventure as we learned what type of content our followers like to see. I am no social media expert, but after watching trends and researching content, I definitely see why our social accounts are booming.

What’s the absolute best thing about Marleylilly? Puppies! Puppy shoot days are like Christmas at #MonogramHQ. News of puppies in the building sends everyone flocking to them for some puppy love. They’re definitely not the easiest models to work with but they do sell the most products! Here are a few sweet pup pics from random photoshoots. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to show off their sweet faces!

Interning at Marleylilly has been the best experience and I am so thankful that I was allowed this opportunity. Leaving, I know that my marketing IQ is one hundred times higher and I am excited to apply what I’ve learned to a job in the near future!

  5. Julie, your insights on intuitive grammar, especially the distinctions between "me," "myself," and "I," are so enlightening! 🌟 I've always found English grammar to be a bit tricky, especially when it comes to pronouns. Your explanations are clear and easy to understand, making it simpler for readers like me to grasp these concepts. I appreciate the examples you provided; they truly help in understanding the correct usage in different contexts. 📚✏️

    By the way, I've been working on a research paper about the evolution of language and grammar in the digital age. It's intriguing to see how language adapts and changes with technology and social media. I stumbled upon a site coding homework help that assists in structuring and writing research papers, especially on topics like programming languages. It's been a lifesaver! 🖥️📖 Given your expertise in grammar, do you think the digital age has influenced the way we use and understand grammar? And how do you think technology will shape the future of language learning? I'd love to incorporate some expert opinions into my paper! 😊🤔
