Corporate Sponsorship Intern
A corporate sponsorship intern for the Los Angeles Rams is a person who helps the team’s sponsors perform their business operations on gamedays. The tasks involve running the VIP ticketing booth, putting up signs around the stadium, and handing out merchandise to fans. We also got to work at the team’s training camp during the summer, where our responsibilities included playing with kids in the Kid Zone, setting up the field for the players, and manning the hospitality tents.
There are three descriptions that will help clarify the role of corporate sponsorships intern for the LA Rams.
· Ticketing
· Signage
· Utility
I’ll describe how these three tasks may present themselves on a typical day.
Ticketing
On gamedays, the ticketing process is simple but important. The interns are given a list of names to eventually cross off of the list once they come and show their ID. After approving their ID’s, we give them their respective VIP tickets. The important part is, these people are the friends and family of both the Rams’ players and the players on the opposing team, so we have to make sure they are dealt with appropriately and professionally.
Signage
Signage is an overlooked part of any stadium by the fans. No one thinks about who actually put the signs up or how much the companies are paying for the publicity. The answers are: the interns, and a lot. Not only do we put up signs for various companies, but we also put up the directional signs that help fans navigate the stadium. Needless to say, corporate sponsorship interns are vital to the team’s success.
Utility
What I mean by ‘utility’ is the ability to do many unrelated tasks. The interns are often called upon to do things for other divisions within the organization, so it is very important to be versatile. For example, I might be sitting at the VIP ticket booth on a gameday and receive a call from my boss, who tells me that Jane from Marketing needs me to carry a few signs to the other side of the stadium. The point is, you have to be willing and able to drop whatever you’re doing to help with anything at any time.
The intro is very straightforward, directly telling the readers what you did as a corporate sponsorship intern. Also, I really like the structure of the whole article. You describe each duties with specific examples. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLiked the way you detailed all of the tasks that are necessary to fulfill this role. Whenever I go into a stadium I never think about signage that much because I am too focused on the game. You describing how important sinage is made me realize just how much is going on inside a stadium besides the game
ReplyDeleteI liked how the intro let me know what to expect, as well as all the details you included to describe all the parts of your job. It was very interesting to get a little insight on what goes on behind-the-scenes of a successful gameday.
