I absolutely love that I have received the chance to intern with a company that I have known so well for so many years. I started my Sonic Experience two and a half years ago working as a Carhop at a local Sonic Drive-In in Amarillo. It was truly an experience I worked my way up and soon became the Marketing Crew Leader for my store and had the chance to work closely with Camie Boone the Marketing Director and soon had the chance of meeting and getting to know the owner Roger Castleberry. I just enjoyed working with Sonic and all of the people that worked day to day to make it the most loved fast food restaurant around. Anyway that is just a little bit of a background that I have had with Sonic and now on to the amazing life of a Sonic Intern.......
I received this internship after speaking to both Camie and Roger about possibly coming in and working with them and learning all that I can from such a great company. They were more then excited to have me come in and help out since spring is a very busy time in the office and marketing. I came in and instantly had things to offer to the company that they did not know about such as Google Calendar and Google Docs that I have always used for classes. It was so great to know that stuff that I have learned about in college can really help a local business with better organization and how they send stuff out to their different stores.
This week was one very eventful week I got the chance to work closely with the March of Dimes and be on a committee to plan events that will take place during the campaign and what Sonic will be doing to make the best out of it. As you may know Sonic Drive-In in the Amarillo area sells pies for the March of Dimes and all of the proceeds will be going to them as well. This is something that I have learned about this year and I absolutely love that they do this. I am also really excited that I will be helping the March of Dimes and their goal to reach $500,000 this year.
I also got the chance to see what all we do with the different sports teams around the area I had the pleasure of meeting Stephanie Tucker which is the Amarillo Venom Marketing Director and owner. We talked about what Sonic will be doing as far as marketing goes during the games and how to get a crowd to them and what Sonic can do to get their brand name out there to the public. I have to say that I have learned so much during this week and keep learning new things every day. Another asset that they loved about me is my organizational skills. Right now they have things all over the place and I have been put in charge of organizing and making the marketing room look awesome and easy to access for when we have to pull out door prizes or certificates for the schools. As you can see I have a lot of work ahead of me and will be working hard to make this room look amazing.
I have absolutely loved this week at my internship and have enjoyed learning all that I can, I know that I will be getting busy very soon with all the events and promotions coming up this Spring.
