In a world of saturated markets, innovative Start-ups are the future. Entrepreneurship has spread globally, and start-up businesses contribute to a wave of up-and-coming trends within the industry. While every business starts as a start-up, their internal processes and strategies help their ultimate success. How does this happen?

I’m a boss. Sometimes I have good days, and sometimes I have bad days. The energy of winning a deal or doing something uber creative sends me to the moon and when there are setbacks or I’m thinking about the weekend, I am quite possibly on ‘go slow’. You can imagine then, why I see ‘quiet quitting’ as just another marketing term for people to ignore and move on from.

My story about how I began interning at Marketing Eye is probably not very different from most. I arrived in Melbourne in February this year as an international student to complete the second half of my Master of Publishing and Communication degree. From the course name itself, you can probably guess that marketing was not one of the core subjects involved. My course and subjects revolved mostly around the publishing industry and communication via digital media.

Marketing for accountants is a unique challenge. The preconceived idea that people have of accounting firm is difficult to overcome since people won’t choose to engage with their accountant until they have too. When they do have to choose an accountant, they might not shop around to find the best solution, instead going with what is close or what they already know through experience or recommendations from friends and family. Many people will choose an accounting firm and stick with them.

Email marketing may be an old form of digital communication, but do you know that it consistently helps businesses deliver better ROI than many other marketing channels? Email marketing is the process of targeting your existing and prospective customers through email. It is a form of digital marketing as well as direct marketing which uses email to reach out to your business’s customer list and make them aware of new products, special offers, discounts, and other services your business offers.

Funnel marketing is a marketing strategy to see, identify, and evaluate the number of audiences captured in the travel process, from not knowing the brand of a business, to deciding to buy its products. This strategy is very important to understand, especially for people who run a business.

A marketing strategy is a short-term and long-term plan to achieve company goals by determining the wants and needs of customers, therefore creates a sustainable competitive advantage for the company to increase sales. Depending on the industry and market, marketing plans should be updated monthly or fortnightly. By this way, you can be sure that your plan will survive at the next stages of the market. However, not every entrepreneur chooses a marketing strategy, because they don’t understand why they need it.

When Marketing Eye first started its internship program, it was simply a case of so many people requesting internships and the need for young marketers to learn about their chosen field within a professional setting.

After just completing my first year of university studying media and communications, I didn’t know the first thing about what the world of marketing involved. Having only ever taken two advertising classes, I knew almost nothing about what a marketing firm did let alone how they operated in the industry. That was until I found myself scrolling through Indeed.com, trying to find a way to fill in my time over the next three months. At a time when every second person was trying to find a job or internship, restless after the abundance of lockdowns we endured in 2021, every opportunity I was either turned down or was one in 500 applicants. Marketing Eye was no different, an application I thought I would never hear back from. Or so that’s what I thought. 12 weeks later I am left to reflect on my time working as a Marketing Eye Intern learning from and working alongside a team of dedicated, passionate, and hardworking marketing executives.

Before commencing my internship at Marketing Eye, I was at a loss of where I wanted to take my career. I finished my Bachelor of Arts degree in 2020, majoring in media and communications, hoping to find a career in marketing down the track. However, I didn’t completely understand what a career in marketing or a media role would entail. At the end of 2020, I visited a careers counsellor, naively assuming that all my curiosity and fear going into a professional work environment would be miraculously cured. After the session, I did not feel as confident as I predicted I would.

At the beginning of 2021, I began my master’s in marketing and digital communications. I felt I had found my passion in marketing, however, when I was asked by friends or relatives what exactly I would desire to do in my marketing career, I felt still quite unsure what I would exactly be hoping to do.
