I found this internship position through Facebook.
During my internship, I attended bi-weekly meetings, promoted events through social media, collaborated with on-campus organizations to promote events, established partnerships for giveaways, marketed events through placement of posters and cards, attended concerts to promote other shows, and distributed flyers for upcoming events at the end of concerts.
Some of the most rewarding aspects of my position included being able to connect with on-campus organizations to raffle tickets to a show each month that helped promote the Filmore through Live Nation and raise money for campus organizations. Additionally, networking with on-campus organizations and other college campuses was great. There were also free concert tickets each month for a show of our choosing.
Traveling to Silver Spring every other week was difficult. Also, getting permission to display flyers on campus was the most difficult part of the process because sometimes permission would be denied.
Communication skills are essential for this position. Networking is a major part and you will need to communicate with others effectively. Flexibility and reliable transportation are also a must. Be ready to connect with other organizations on your campus to make the experience better. There is travel and a lot of advertising involved. Networking with other schools was a great experience that helped me.
