I recently joined the com.motion team as the new Social Media Intern. The team at com.motion is creative, hard-working and enthusiastic - all elements that excite a “Gen Y’er” such as myself. My first days as a social media intern have been interesting, starting with first figuring out what being a Social Media Intern means!
What have I learned so far? Well, being a Social Media Intern means that as a self-declared geek, blogger and online news junkie, I get to utilize some of my favorite tools and stay on top of the current web trends. In doing so, I support the com.motion team in building relationships with the online community and establish engaging content with strong messages. When com.motion said they were looking for a “social media rockstar”, I was happy to stand up and yell “That’s me!”
Being new to the team also means that I have a legitimate excuse to “creep” (search on social networks, mostly facebook) my new colleagues. Starting a new job or project is a great time to add new connections online, which helps gain insight into your newfound team members. I am looking forward to new connections and fascinating projects that will be developed by the com.motion team, and the continued conversations that will happen right here at the com.motion blog!

Awesome. We definitely need more geeks around here. Marco and I were starting to get lonely!

Thanks! It makes me want to yell out "Geeks unite!". :)
Is there a lot of money to be made, doing this kind of thing?
Hey Milan - absolutely. All the BIG money is in social media these days!
