GOWTAM KRISHNAN APGDM –Media Management
Batch: 2024-26
As a media student one of the biggest hurdles of life is to overcome the whole concept of fighting against the stereotypical norms of redundant work life. Being a media student it was clear to me that the hardships I have to overcome in the walk of life is nothing lesser than questioning my brain into why not thinking something out of the box. Every time a new idea pops in I would let my skills take a journey with it so that my ideation and execution of concepts are creative and can impress a huge crowd rather than myself.Show More
My work at Loopd Media LLP as a content writer Intern did not restrict me into just content writing and filling up captions. I had the complete privilege to learn about creatives, managing social media handles, understanding preferred contents and how audience reacts to different contents.
All the way from understanding company’s requirements, marketing methods, client needs, executable creatives and SEO had helped me understand the way contents are ranked in social media and in web rankings. I also had the opportunity in crafting brochures for different companies meeting word limits, spacings and efficient usage of keywords. I could also use my vocabulary skills in defining different services our company provided and revamped our website according to keyword preferences. The opportunity as a media student to work in an atmosphere that fostered creativity has boosted the capability to express new ideas. This experience of 3 months has reshaped my perspective about market trends, client needs and types of content writings. The opportunity ISB&M’s PAC had offered helped me in understanding more about the advertising sector, branding and SEO-based content writing. -
