Kara Wiley, what was your favorite part?
I was able to work on a variety of brands within my first week. This allowed me
to get to know different teams across WS’s multiple departments and see how the
different practices operate.
Expectations vs. reality of your internship?
I was happy to see more informal team brainstorm sessions than expected.
My input was listened to from early-on in my internship as well.
What are you up to now?
I’ve been with Weber Shandwick for three years, and am currently an Art Director.
Felix Fernandez-Penny, what’d you work on?
I spent a year in the Consumer Practice working on program development, content
design, and product launches for well-known consumer brands.
Favorite part?
I especially appreciated the internship’s Lunch & Learn speaker series, which introduced
us to the breadth of Weber Shandwick’s offering and the firm’s specialty practices.
What are you up to now?
The internship led to my first post-graduate full-time role with Weber Shandwick,
and I continue my work with the Strategy & Planning team and the Structural
Inequities Taskforce.
Tia DiSalvo, what was your favorite part?
From the first day, I truly felt like a member of the team – not merely an
extension – and got to play a hands-on role with clients throughout my time.
How was working with clients?
There is no doubt that diving into client service can be daunting, but I’ve always
been thankful to have had such a stellar team to make the learning process as
seamless as possible.
What are you up to now?
I’ve been with the firm for about two-and-a-half years and am currently an
associate supporting the corporate issues and capital markets teams.
