Social media and shows: Internship week 4

Me with Ben Nichols, the lead singer of Lucero

The fourth week of my internship was super fun! I was still working on video edits and made some final edits my boss requested I add to the Nickel Creek videos, then I was tasked to make some more videos for Parker Millsap. I was asked to go find some of his older videos and make edits and 30-second clips for reels and TikTok. I was unfamiliar with Parker’s old content so it was cool getting to go through some of his videos and cut these clips. I sent it over to my supervisor and she loved it so it was an easy task. Another huge focus this week was social media. I was given a list of artists and albums to post about for the week and wrote up captions. For the content of the captions I referred to the press releases that are up on our shared drive, I came up with a draft and got it approved by my supervisors. Then we decided that we need to come up with a schedule of post content for the next coming weeks. I made a document with a list of different types of posts we can do spanning a range of artists. The posts consist of album features, singles posts, Reels, tour dates, and positive press pieces. My supervisor made some edits and comments and we are currently working on it still. I also made some more posts for the feed and created the new music Friday posts. I also made some updates to the quick reference guide which tracks our upcoming releases, and we had our weekly team meeting. The week ended on a super cool note. I was given two tickets to see one of our artists Lucero at the social in Orlando. A perk of this internship is if there is a show in the area by one of the artists in our company I can contact my supervisors and see if I can get a spot on the guest list. Lucero has become one of my favorite bands and it was super cool to see a band that is a part of the company live and in person. After the show, I was lucky enough to run into the guitar player and the singer and I introduced myself and told them I intern for Thirty Tigers, they were both super nice and thanked me and sang the company’s praises. Going to live shows is one of my favorite things and it is such a cool experience going as someone who works in the industry and being able to make these connections with people I admire.
