#MMIntern Spotlight: Kenneth Lee

Working with interns each semester is one of our favorite parts about life at Metter Media. Helping them realize their talents, while learning their personalities, and encouraging their developing interests is all a part of our job as intern hosts at Metter Media. We love to reach back out to our fabulous interns to see where they are now, and how they’ve been able to make use of what they learned at Metter in their daily lives and career endeavors. 

Our next spotlight is Kenneth Lee, a graduate student from BU whom we had the pleasure of spending the Summer of 2019 with. Kenneth’s never-ending enthusiasm, team attitude, leadership skills (and obviously his beautiful #foodstagram) led us to believe he would be a perfect fit at Metter Media Continue reading and see what our #MMIntern Kenneth is doing now.

What are you doing since you left Metter Media — jobs, schools, etc.? Any fun projects?

I’m back in school, and having a good time working production & Social Media on a PR Podcast called The Crux. I get to meet Chief Communication Officers and CEOs from major companies, manage recordings and the podcast’s social media channels.

How are you using social media today?

I am actually helping a few friends to boost their businesses using Social Media! Currently, I’m working on the social strategy for a few restaurants in Singapore.

What is the most important thing you learned at Metter Media?

I think Metter Media taught me how to think about content in the context of larger storytelling, and what it takes to execute that content rapidly, in an effective manner.

What advice do you have for future interns/people entering the field?

I would advise future interns/people entering our industry to be patient and focus on being in the trenches. It is where you will become competent in your craft, and competence in a prerequisite for leadership.

What project or skill from your MM internship are you using now?

I think a lot of the photography and design work I did in Metter Media really helped me. I’m using it in my daily work right now!

What is your favorite social media channel and why?

I love TikTok! The Explore Tab is a really great place to discover new, fun content.

Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?

1 horse-sized duck! So much easier to fight 1 thing than 100 little things LOL

Every couple of months we’ll come back with another spotlight of our amazing past interns and catch up with where they are now. To read more about them, stay tuned!

Joey’s Area 51 Meme Roundup

The internet is a truly unpredictable beast. Just when you think you’ve seen it all — you haven’t. On any given day anything can be launched into the mainstream of cultural consciousness without warning; reaching everyone from your internet friends to your confused grandmother on Facebook.

What makes the viral Area 51 event so interesting is the fact that it has a specific date attached to it, earning it a place in the cultural narrative much longer than most one off viral jokes achieve — and, of course, plenty of memes. In honor of the truth being out there, here are my favorite Area 51 memes:
