I <3 MKG

Happy Friday and Valentine's Day Eve everyone! Next week will be my fourth week at MKG and I am so grateful that I ended up with such an awesome internship! Especially after hearing horror stories from my internship class (one girl had to cut and glue paper all day long!). So far I have been compiling a powerpoint of as many NYC venues that I can find, I've learned how to make local guides, create binders, and make sure everything is MKG branded.  

My favorite thing to do so far is brain storming (I'm sure many of you already know this). I started working with Diane (who, by the way, happens to live one street up from me in Hershey, PA, my brother and her brother rode the bus together, what a small world) to incorporate more marketing into my learning here (since that is my major). Right now I am working on coming up with ideas that we can present to companies.  For example, an idea for Coca-Cola member rewards could be that we set up kiosks down by Ground Zero and for every 2 bottles of coke that are bought and their codes are entered into the member rewards data base the customer will be able to physically pick up a bottle of coke and put it in a package to be sent to one of our soldiers. 

If anyone wants to help me out with some ideas I have to come up with marketing ideas for Coke, Ugg, Home depot (college game day), Expedia, Loreal (Tribeca Film Festival), Hyatt (Andaz) Hotels, Axe, and Taste of Tennis (which I am really stuck on because I don't really understand the point of it, so please help!)

For something non-work related, if you need a good laugh watch this "Game show in my head" clip, the show is on Saturday nights and it is HILARIOUS! People have to do crazy stuff to win money (like this one guy had to go in a portapotty and get someone to give him reading material, something to wipe with, and to engage someone in a 1 minute conversation). Heres the link where you can view all the clips http://www.cbs.com/collections/game_show_in_my_head/

Another funny clip is from the Ellen show... she sends dennis quaid to a starbucks and he has to say everything she tells him to say in his earpiece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C64ZYuR7PuQ

I hope everyone has an awesome V-Day!
