Why Instagram stories matter:
- Instagram stories are an easy, free way to try out different marketing techniques. You can tag locations and people to encourage exposure to your profile. Today I explore the flexibility and usefulness of Instagram stories and how they can really improve your presence on social media. I take a deep dive into Amazons Instagram stories to get a perspective on how the top marketing executives are using Instagram stories. Do not be afraid of trying different things with Instagram stories. If you do not like your result, just try another approach! You go this.
- Then I delve into my resolutions for 2022 and what I have learned about the difficulties of creating habits. Of course, I mention my favorite podcast, Hidden Brain again. Which helps up identify what steps can be taken to develop good habits that we can actually stick to.
Update:
- Chau and I have decided to not co-host Internal Affairs together. Instead, it will be fully taken over by me, Mandy Moore. I hope you enjoy the coming episodes! This episode is a new dynamic than what I usually put up, so I really hope you like it.

If you are interested in interning in New York, New York, then this is the podcast for you. In this episode, Chau and I interview An, an architect major at the University of Cincinnati. An is interning this semester at Perkins Eastman in New York. She takes us through all the ups and downs she has gone through to get to where she is. From the process of sending in over 100 applications, the importance of having a portfolio, the difficulty in finding housing short notice, and more.
Social media can be overwhelming, we would know. Chau and I interact with social media every day as marketing interns. We use Canva to create infographics and are improving our techniques as we go. In this week’s episode, we talk about our first impressions of Canva, what we have learned, and where we want to improve. Everything has a learning curve to it, including navigating social media on a professional platform, do not be afraid to make some mistakes along the way (they are half the fun!). Think of creating content like creating a podcast, the hardest part is starting!
