My experience

I created this website as part of my internship at Hope Fashion, where I was responsible for managing the company's online presence and digital marketing efforts. The website serves as a comprehensive showcase of my work during the internship, including the content I developed, the marketing campaigns I executed, and my overall contributions to the company's growth.

Hope Fashion is looking to expand into the French market, and as part of this strategic move, they wanted to present their brand and services in a way that resonates with an international audience. To support this goal, I designed the homepage in English, ensuring it is accessible and appealing to a broader audience, including potential French-speaking customers and partners who are comfortable with English. This website not only highlights the skills and strategies I applied during my internship but also aligns with Hope Fashion's ambitions of entering new markets and growing their brand internationally.

I completed a 2-month internship at Hope Fashion, a startup based in Germany that specializes in selling clothes online. During this time, I was responsible for managing the company's social media presence, including creating and publishing posts, stories, and reels. Additionally, I carried out marketing campaigns on various social media platforms. My workplace tutor was Jannes, who guided me throughout this enriching experience.

During my internship at Hope Fashion, I played a crucial role in enhancing the company’s online presence by managing content creation and executing marketing campaigns. I was responsible for creating and publishing engaging content on Hope Fashion's social media platforms, including posts, stories, and reels. The company aimed to increase its online engagement and brand visibility, so I designed visually appealing graphics, crafted catchy captions, and scheduled posts to maintain a consistent online presence. These efforts led to a noticeable increase in followers, likes, and shares, significantly boosting the brand’s online engagement. In addition to content management, I developed and executed marketing campaigns tailored to Hope Fashion’s target audience. With the objective of boosting sales during seasonal promotions, I conducted market research, identified key trends, and used this information to design targeted ads and promotional content. These campaigns resulted in a significant uptick in website traffic and sales during the promotional periods.

Throughout my internship at Hope Fashion, I observed several practices related to social media marketing in a startup environment, which were more dynamic and demanding than I initially anticipated. The rapid iteration of content and the necessity to adapt quickly to changing social media trends were particularly intense. Before my internship, I believed that content planning was a more static process, but I learned that in a startup like Hope Fashion, flexibility and quick adaptation are crucial. This experience confirmed that working in a startup requires a dynamic and agile approach, especially in digital marketing, where consumer preferences can shift rapidly. The advantages of this environment included real-time feedback and instant interaction with customers, as well as the ability to quickly implement and test new marketing strategies. However, there were also limitations, such as the need to multitask due to limited resources, which sometimes diluted the focus on long-term strategy. Additionally, the pressure to constantly produce fresh content could lead to burnout if not managed properly.
