Entegra Signature Structures is a well-known and highly successful steel fabrication company that supplies and erects sheds and steel frames throughout Australia primarily for commercial purposes and agriculture. As part of Marketing Eye's work with Entegra over a number of years, we managed all of their marketing as their approved outsourced marketing arm. From the development of a marketing strategy and redevelopment of their website through to marketing collateral and brochures, Marketing Eye was instrumental in transforming their brand. Entegra is a business that has grown from strength to strength with strong company values and good supplier relationships. They focus their marketing efforts internally and externally, and use social media and digital marketing to drive lead generation for their sales team.

As a business student with a growing love for marketing, I knew that internships played a crucial role in developing practical skills and gaining industry experience. Being able to apply my knowledge in a real-life setting was also very important to me as it gave me insightful knowledge on what to potentially expect at future roles. Therefore, when I got the opportunity to become an intern at Marketing Eye, although I was quite nervous, I was also very excited to dive into the world of marketing.

With the odd 500 million tweets bombarding users every day,Twitter provides live updates and information that ranges from the daily habits of someone’s pet cat to information on political speeches and issues, and just about everything in between. No wonder it’s easy to get lost in the sea of information that it provides. Luckily, the platform has introduced Twitter Communities that allows people with different interests to connect, share and interact with others who share their passions  or opinions.

Reflecting back on my time as an intern at Marketing Eye, I am incredibly grateful for the knowledge and skills I have obtained from this journey.

Before Marketing Eye, I had worked under one other marketing internship position. Although the titles were very similar, the work was vastly different. My role at Marketing Eye pushed me to work individually and hold greater accountability for my work. My greatest challenge initially (as my supervising marketing executives can attest to) was finishing my tasks within the recommended timeframe. Previously, I had worked in a team to complete a blog post and we were given several days. However, Marketing Eye pushed my ability to complete blog posts by myself, within at least a day. Initially, I could not comprehend finishing a blog post within a couple of hours as I would agonise and perfect each sentence as I went; making sure that each line was perfect. 

I eventually learned that this is an ineffective way to approach my tasks.

Content marketing focuses on creating relevant and valuable content for a targeted audience. A content contributor can submit their content to an organisation, adding value to its blog by providing a wider variety in both style and content. A contributor not only aims to provide value to the publisher but to build awareness around their own public profile.

For centuries, storytelling has been an integral part of sharing experiences, teaching, learning about history and executing a type of message. Converging with a story is the foundation of connecting with others. It is unsurprising how successful stories can create a memorable impact and help share key messages which is why many businesses couple marketing and storytelling.

2020 has been an interesting year in marketing to say the least. Yes, we have all undeniably suffered under the conditions of the pandemic – but where there’s hardship there’s also opportunity to be found and many of us have been forced into new and exciting places.

Writing a blog is the perfect opportunity to share your knowledge and passion with your readers. Generally, a blog consists of written content, visuals, multi-media and often has a comment section so your readers can interact with you. When you are writing a blog, remember you don't have to be a “professional’ writer. Your blog content can either be informative, persuasive, conversational or informal. However, if you want your blog to be engaging and successful, follow our ultimate guide to blogging.
