Financial & Professional Services Intern

Instinctif

SPRING 2020 | London, UK

During my time studying abroad in London with James Madison University, I took the opportunity to intern with Instinctif, a communications firm in the heart of London’s financial district. I worked mainly with the Financial & Professional Services team but was exposed to other teams within the company as well. It was a great experience working with the company and I found myself quickly acclimating to the British work culture. During my time I joined the social committee which was a great way to meet employees from other teams but also leave a greater impact. Unfortunately due to the Covid-19 pandemic I was sent home early and unable to complete my internship but the connections and experience I made motivared me to pursue a master’s degree abroad, there’s always a silver lining!

Responsibilities included:

  • Crafted weekly reports highlighting top trends in the financial & professional services sector to ensure client updates are current.

  • Researched 50+ prominent industry leaders & stakeholders, constructing detailed media lists for clients to increase name recognition using Roxhill and Signal.

  • Provided fresh perspective on internal communications by curating and editing content for the company newsletter.

  • Pitched and organized company wide social events, including the company’s spring party, National Pancake Day, and Valentine’s Day.
