First Adventures of a Social Media Intern

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!

Ed Lee
Managing Director, com.motion Canada

I’ve been working in or around the social media revolution since 2005 and I am grateful to be exploring this new media landscape with com.motion’s clients. As managing director, my role is to guide our clients through the use of new technologies and to provide innovative ways to engage their stakeholders online. Shiny new Web 2.0 toys are great to play with but our recommendations are always strategic and focused on reaching the right people, with the right message across the right channels.
