Sean Stoner completed a marketing internship at Richland Executive Office Suites in 2016. He focused on creating social media presences on Facebook and Twitter and designing print ads. He learned skills like implementing marketing tactics, designing ads in Publisher, working independently on projects and spreadsheets, and using Facebook ads. The most important takeaway was applying coursework in internet marketing, social media marketing, integrated marketing communications, and marketing research and plans to independently market office space rental.

My single most important takeaway
