To all of you new interns...

You are the luckiest people in the world right now. MKG is the greatest company to work for! Take time to really get to know everyone in the office. They are all wonderful people and really know what they are doing. I was only there for a short few months in the summer and I think about everything I learned and experienced every day. Have a wonderful experience and take time to remember how lucky you are to be in such a fantastic place.

Good luck!

Dearest MKG-ers,

Kimber here! For those of you that I haven't had the chance to meet yet... hi! I'm sure I'll being seeing you soon. I am the second production intern to come aboard for this spring semester and, since I am just getting to know MKGand each of you, I thought I'd share a little bit about myself...

I just moved to the Upper East Side from Phoenix, AZ, where it is a GORGEOUS 74 degrees today! I am 22 and nearly a graduate at Arizona State.  I've known that I wanted to go into event production & planning since two years ago when I found out from an ASU professor that there was such a career, while at an event that I had planned and produced!  GO figure... I was already doing it!  I'm a bit of a foodie and I live for all things sweet... especially chocolate.  Something unique about me...?  I'm a professionally trained cake-decorator, I left a dog, a bird, 2 snakes, 20-30 tortoises & 1 turtle back in AZ, & I LOVE cliff jumping.

SO... I made it through my first week fairly easily and I am so excited to get into the good stuff :) & really get to know, more extensively, the design & production side of the events industry.  I look forward to my second week and I hope you guys don't feel the need to take it easy on me... I love this stuff so throw me into the mix!!

More soon!

First Blog! Woot

Heyy-- Thought I would throw together my first blog before I took off for the day.  The last two days have gone by pretty fast despite by hellish commute haha... And after successfully mistaking Jake for Andrew and accidently bypassing Cody on all of Maneesh's calls (my B :) ) I'm definitely excited to tackle whatever you guys throw at me and have a lot of fun these next few months!  Everyone's been extremely nice and welcoming and I already feel like I've learned quite a bit for the time I've been here after stumbling across bizbash.com and picking up a few of the industry Mags.  A lot of the work I've been given has given me some good insight as to what I'm in for too.

Well, all I can say is I am very excited to see all things that go in to these events and get to know everyone better!  I'll have more for you next week I'm sure.  Stay cool ;)

Fresh Bait!

Lizzie here...

I just want to say we are so thrilled to be welcoming our new class of interns to MKG Productions.  Our first intern, Brittany Wier began on her journey yesterday and was quick to pick up on all things MKG. Kimberly Coonen and Julie Hudson will both be joining our team in the next few weeks, and I'm sure will definitely contribute to our "pink spirit".

So Hooray for the newbies! You have an awesome road ahead of you.

We hope you learn, laugh, and of course LOVE all things MKG.

Signing off now-
