I learned how a creative and innovative company operates and works throughout the day.
I signed up for #FindSparkFest, a week-long celebration to help students/recent grads start their career in NYC. One of the events included an “Inside Look @ Buzzfeed“…
We started with a tour around 175-person, 2 floor headquarters in New York City. Yes..this location included an open office area (NO Cubicles), large conference rooms and best of all a kitchen that has anything you could dream of (FRO-YO machine)! Read more about the NYC head quarters on Business Insider.
The creative department focuses on BuzzFeed’s sponsored ads, quizzes and online trends. The daily responsibilities of someone on the creative team include:
- brainstorming
- research
- communication with clients
- keeping up with trends
- collaboration with other team members
Heard from some of the talented team at Buzz Feed:
Juliet Austin– Talent Diversity Manager
Alix McAlpine– Director of Creative Growth
Chris Unera– Junior Creative
Melissa Rosenthal-Vice President of Creative Services
We also heard all about BuzzFeed’s incredible Summer Fellowship Program.
What I loved about BuzzFeed was the incredible company culture, it is so clear that being passionate for what you do will get you so far in life. Skills can be taught, passion cannot!
