Internship Insider: Jess Edmisten

This summer, I interned as a Social Media Intern on the Corporate Communications Team at The Davey Tree Expert Company. I had an incredible experience, thanks to my supportive team. My primary role involved managing and engaging with audiences across platforms like LinkedIn, X, Instagram and Facebook. I also uploaded and organized content to YouTube, tracked sponsorships, created performance reports, and analyzed competitor activity on media channels.
Additionally, I was responsible for developing trend reports to inform strategic decisions and I gained corporate exposure by attending weekly PR meetings. One of my more unique tasks was identifying fraudulent accounts to maintain brand integrity. 

One of the most challenging aspects of my internship was managing the analytics and performance reports for multiple social media platforms simultaneously. I initially thought the data analysis would be overwhelming, especially when tracking audience engagement, analyzing competitor activity, and compiling trend reports for strategic decisions. But I quickly realized that breaking the work into smaller, manageable chunks and using the tools at my disposal made the process much more efficient.

The more I worked with the data, the easier it became to spot patterns and trends that could influence future strategies. What I thought would be a struggle, organizing and interpreting a large volume of data, turned out to be one of the most rewarding and enjoyable aspects of the job. It not only improved my analytical skills but also gave me a deeper understanding of how data-driven decisions shape a corporate social media strategy.

I enjoyed learning how much data analysis goes into a corporate social media strategy. It was fun to have hands-on experience with audience behavior and trend reporting. While the exposure was incredible, what truly stood out to me was how impactful a positive and caring work environment can be. Every person I collaborated with was more than willing to help further my education in corporate communication.
