The Spring Creek Summer Experience

On July 15, I started working at Spring Creek Group. It is a really good place to work because the people are really friendly and helpful, it is not stressful, and there are free snacks. A normal day for me starts off with tracking our clients across multiple social networks. Once I’m done with that, I switch over to a tool I use to track social media content related to our nonprofit clients. Then I spend most of my day there because there are always a lot of people talking about those projects.

My internship supervisor, Kate, helped me familiarize myself with my duties. She showed me how to record the data they get and who

to give it to. Sam is the man who gets all the inbound tracking data and then turns it into presentations the clients can understand.

Before I earned my summer internship, I learned a lot about JavaScript while in school. I recently started working with Rick and Jake, two members of the SCG creative team. I helped Jake with some JavaScript for one of his projects and I observed Rick working on some improvements to the Spring Creek Group website. Furthermore, I learned a few things from them such as CSS (Cascade Style Sheets) and PHP (P Hypertext Preprocessor). As you can see my work day is not filled with daunting

tasks but I am always kept busy. SCG is not about all work and no play; they get to have some fun too. One of the coolest things that happened here in the past few weeks was going to the Mariners baseball game. The whole SCG team got free tickets.

Before we went, we had some time to socialize at a restaurant. It was my first time watching a baseball game at Safeco Field so I was very excited. I never bothered watching baseball on television before, because more times than not I ended up getting bored, but not this time. I had a really fun time watching the game because of the view and because I had a lot of my coworkers

to talk to.

All in all SCG is a very relaxing place to work. Some of the perks of working here include free game tickets and free snacks. Furthermore, I will use the experience I have gained here to make my school projects and collaboration skills a lot better.
