Youth Marketing Connection Response

Thank you for taking the time to review your position at YMC. We're very glad that you were able to enjoy the flexibility in schedule and ability to create events hand-in-hand with us and our clients, and that the experience is a good addition to your resume. We are sorry that you don't believe you received any professional experience, however. Of the thousands of students we work with each year, countless of them provide direct and immediate feedback that they learned more in a semester with YMC than in several of their courses, including skills pertaining to Event Production/Manager, Brand Marketing, Social Influencer Marketing, and Project Management. Additionally, students that have worked with YMC often provide feedback that they were able to land an enviable entry-level position and excel because of the skills acquired with YMC. Finally, as you'll certainly experience soon in your career, young professionals do change jobs and/or in YMC's case, receive promotions often and quickly. That will occasionally result in a change of management. We do everything in our power to make it as seamless as possible for those we work with. We appreciate the advice to "be more strict" and are always trying to find the right balance.

Pros

Supportive Team Culture: One of the biggest highlights was the incredibly supportive, collaborative, and welcoming team. I felt valued, encouraged, and trusted throughout the internship. Hands-On Experience: I was given meaningful tasks and responsibilities, especially on accounts like Maybelline and Cécred, which made me feel like a real contributor—not just an intern. Exposure to Variety: The fast-paced agency environment meant every day felt different. Working across multiple brand accounts kept things fresh and exciting. Opportunities for Initiative: I appreciated the ability to express interest in specific projects. My manager, Lexi, always encouraged me to explore what I was curious about, which led to deeper learning and more tailored experiences. Confidence-Building: Presenting, interviewing, and taking ownership of projects significantly boosted my confidence and professional growth.

Cons

Not-Quite-Cons (aka Learning Opportunities): I didn’t get to sit in on many client calls due to scheduling, but even without that, I gained a strong understanding of how YMC manages client relationships through internal discussions, prep work, and campaign execution. And honestly, the biggest con is that I don’t want it to end. I truly wish I could stay on with this team and this incredible company forever. I’ve learned so much, felt deeply supported, and had the most amazing, fulfilling experience.
