There are several courses that were beneficial in preparing me for this internship. The first and most evident is MRKT 4328 Advertising. I did an entire advertising plan for this company and this was the class that helped with the most. The second course that helped was MRKT 3330 Brand Management. There was a substantial amount of material I learned in that class that I used for the advertising materials.

I just did not know what they were looking for so I felt as though I was wasting my time on redoing the same thing over and over. I understand that some people will do that to see how creative I am, so this was not a big problem. It was more of a learning
