Hi, my name is Sarah, and I am doing a four-month internship at Spotted by Locals. As my internship is coming to an end, I would like to share my experiences with you.
During my internship as a marketing and community intern, I was responsible for various tasks. For example: I created weekly themed posts for social media, especially Instagram, wrote texts for different city categories on the website, introduced new Spotters to the community and wrote articles about spending 24 Hours in (city). In addition, I handled many other tasks, such as adjusting bad and old photos on the website, creating promo videos for social media, posting short blogposts and so on. As you can see, my role is a mix of creativity and organization, which makes every day varied.
Part of my internship was writing the 24 Hours in (city) articles. Each time, it felt like I was going on a new adventure, even though it was from behind my laptop. Finding cool hidden spots from the local Spotters and writing stories to inspire anyone who reads it was so much fun and really got my creativity flowing.
Another thing I really enjoyed during my internship was working on the “Weekend by Locals” Instagram takeovers. I got to connect with many Spotters to organize these takeovers, sending them all the information they needed and answering their questions. Seeing their cities through their eyes was always exciting when they shared their favourite spots on Instagram.
This was the last big step before I graduate, and now I’m getting ready to finish school! It’s so exciting to think about what’s next! My internship with Spotted by Locals has been such an important experience.
I’m so thankful to my school Erasmushogeschool Brussels and Spotted by Locals for giving me this chance.
