Introducing: Meredith

Hello! My name is Meredith and I am a recent addition to the Keating Magee Internship program. I was born and raised here in New Orleans, but will be returning to Athens, Georgia in the fall to start my junior year at The University of Georgia, where I am studying advertising and speech communication.

A little over a month ago, I took an elevator ride to the fifth floor of the JAX brewery building in the historic New Orleans French Quarter not knowing what was in store for me. This was my first internship, and after hearing stories from friends and families about their first job experiences, I can honestly say that I was a little bit nervous.

After my first few days here at Keating Magee, I was pleasantly suprised to find that I was quickly gaining the trust of my fellow employees. There will always be papers to file and a phone to answer, but there are not many places that let their interns lead their own marketing plan. Yes, we (interns) were given the opportunity to create our own marketing plan for the local House of Blues. It was not only a fun business to work with, but as a local New Orleanian, it was enjoyable to work with a company that I was familiar with.
