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!
