Two weeks into my internship and I can now thoroughly discuss what I do. I am the marketing and ticket services intern - meaning I spend half of my time in the box office, and half of my time in the marketing office.
While in the box office - I answer phone calls, sell and exchange tickets, return messages, and contact patrons who have mailed in gift certificates and vouchers. In addition to ticket sales, I print tickets and invoices to be mailed, and run End of Day which consists of a series of reports and documents for both the Director of Finance, Development, and the Director of Marketing & Communications. I now realize how important it is to keep track of daily credits and debits.
While in the marketing office - I work on many different projects, some with due dates, some that can be looked at when down time is available. My current project include:
- Designing the opening week flyer and sending it as a pdf email attachment to stores/companies/venues
- Learning how to make edits on the website, and then helping make changes throughout the summer
- Student Spotlights from the 4 programs here at The School at Jacob's Pillow
- Managing The School at Jacob's Pillow facebook page
- Research and contacting organizations and publications supporting LBGT for Weekend Out
- Tracking review sites
- Creating and posting 'Today at the Pillow' signs
- Creating and sending informational sheets to local hotels
- Cleaning and opening The Welcome Center (also giving tours)
- Updating and cleaning the photo drive
- Keeping track of everything we do!
Festival begins June 19th and I am so excited !
