What if you could unlock the secret to bring a top performer at a marketing agency? That’s exactly what our 2023/2024 social media interns, Andrée Sonnenberg and Chamane Dizon, are looking to discover in this fascinating episode. Andrée and Charmane put Mike and Mitzi in the hot seat, turning the tables to ask them the questions they want to know as students and new marketers.

Not just a regular Q&A session, this episode goes deep into what distinguishes a top performer (from people who hire and promote!), how to make an impact without ruffling feathers, tips for becoming a problem-solver and letting yourself lean into the newness of a situation. Mike and Mitzi discuss boundary setting, imposter syndrome, work-life balance and self-care advice.

This episode will equip you with practical insights for navigating the marketing industry, no matter what stage you’re at!
