This week, we had the lovely Johanna in the office as she got to grips with all things HUB! As part of her work experience, Johanna pulled together research for our Digital PR team, learned from our organic social media specialists about what makes a good post (spoiler, the caption is just as important as the creative!), and helped out on a top secret shoot in HUB Studios.
Why did you choose to intern at HUB?
I wanted to do work experience at HUB because I’m interested in the creative side of marketing and HUB’s studios really appealed to me.
What were you most excited about?
I was most excited about doing creative tasks, making adverts, and seeing what happens behind the scenes.
What do you think of HUB’s culture?
This is my first time in a workplace, and I imagined workplaces to be quite strict – I find those environments very stressful. However, I’m glad that I was completely wrong.
The environment in HUB is very laid back, enjoyable and passionate – it’s inspiring and encouraging. I’ve really felt included and enjoyed my time here.
Has anything surprised you while you’ve been here?
I wasn’t looking forward to doing more computer-based work such as research, as I was more looking forward to the creative side of advertising. However, I’ve actually loved doing it. Not as much as the filming side, but it’s been lovely and exciting to learn about what they do.
What will you take away from the experience?
Working here has truly inspired me to embrace both my creative and analytical side, and to maybe move away from my original plan of going into politics. I truly thank HUB and the team for creating an environment in which I feel safe to express myself – thank you!
