Farewell, Master Services - From Kaitlyn Dedman

My internship experience began in the beginning of January and continued throughout the entire spring semester. As a student at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, I was truly appreciative of Master Services' willingness to work with my crazy schedule and support me along the way.  I was honored to also be a part of the Master Servicesfamily. When you walk into the office, you are greeted by a sea of friendly faces that all stop to talk to you and ask you about your day. I was so impressed by the overall company morale and how everyone seemed truly happy to be there. Everyone seemed like family.

I really enjoyed the freedom of my internship to pursue my ideas and use my creativity to help with marketing campaigns and social media posts. The marketing team fully supported me with all of my ideas and always helped me along the way. I gained very hands-on marketing experiences with website design, virtual customer databases, mass email communication, marketing research projects, and unique ways to draw attention to our Facebook pages. Additionally, I constructed many blog postings regarding community events, consumer education, and employee values. I also helped with creating book outlines, activating local community pages on our website through writing job stories, and writing content for the website. One of my favorite projects was creating the first Master Services newsletter! I loved writing articles, interviewing employees, and making the newsletter a fun, informative communication outlet for the company.

I cannot my gratitude enough for this invaluable experience. Through my internship, I have solidified my interests and career path in marketing. I truly looked up to Trevor (the Director of Marketing) and John (Graphic Designer & Marketing Assistant) as mentors for their unyielding willingness to help, professionalism, and creativity. I was truly blessed to be a part of such a wonderful company with such strong values and that truly has a group of good-hearted people who are truly passionate for what they do, their customers, and the community. I will miss you, Master Services!
