reMARKable...

Dearest readers,
It's Hannah Parrish again. The Public Relations Intern here at mark. This has been the most amazing experience so far, I can't believe there are less than 3 weeks left!

The 4th of July was a few weeks ago but I'm still excited about the Macy's fireworks display. Here is the view from the Columbia rooftop. Beautiful.

I also went down to Strawberry Fields. It was an emotional experience. And Central Park is so beautiful. Check out Sheep's Meadow if you get the chance, it's lovely.

Additionally, Williamsburg has become my new favorite shopping location. And its oddly quiet there. Plus, Brooklyn has a great music scene. Here is a picture of the post-rain Brooklyn sky. Gorgeous.
In other news. I finally spotted Rob Pattinson. He was with Kristen Stewart at Terminal 5 at The Dead Weather concert. Kanye West and Jay-Z were also in attendance.

Love & Lipgloss,

Hannah Parrish

development, disney and desserts!

Hi everyone!

It’s Claire, the creative intern, and I just wanted to give a quick update about what has been going on with us at mark.

This has been another busy week, and I can’t believe the internship is almost over. Our big field trip this week was visiting the Avon Research and Development facility in Suffern, NY. After an interesting time navigating the trains, we all finally made it to the Avon facility. While there, we heard from a couple speakers about product development and about what goes on in the building.

Later, we got to tour the facility…it was so cool! They showed us where they make products, where they store all their different product shades, and how they test each product to make sure it’s the best it can be for consumers. I was impressed by how much attention to detail there is at Avon and it was really interesting to see everything a product goes through before it is available for purchase. To the right is a picture of the mark. interns (plus Janet and Dawn!) on the red lip couch that is in the building.

We have also been doing lots of fun things outside of work. After touring the Research and Development facility, I went with my roommate Taylor (the marketing intern) to see the Broadway production of The Little Mermaid. It was so fun and I am really glad we were able to go see it.

Also, if you’re ever in NYC and need something sweet, I highly recommend Serendipity 3. You might have to wait a while to get a table, but they have amazing ice cream sundaes. Their frozen hot chocolates are also delicious. I got a Forbidden Broadway Sundae the other night…it was pretty much the most amazing thing ever! Chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, and chocolate chips. Luckily, I had lots of help eating it :) Here is a picture of my sundae:

Hey lovely mark. ladies!!

I hope you have enjoyed our updates about the internship so far! We have all learned so much more about mark. and have really been encouraged recently to recruit more reps and makes those sales. If you are a current mark. customer (or even just a follower of mark.) I really hope I can encourage you to try a few mark. products to see how you like them, and hopefully even sign up to be a rep! It's an extremely low price for a great lifetime investment and a WONDERFUL resume builder!! And if you are a rep and don't have mark. on your resume, I highly recommend you add it asap for such a great benefit for yourself.

With that little soap box aside :o) here are a few impressions where mark. has been mentioned!

field trip time!

Hey everyone! I'm Claire, the creative intern here at mark. We have been so busy this past week or so, and today was no different. This morning, all of the interns had the chance to visit Kaplow, a PR firm that works with mark. We were greeted by a welcome sign, gift bags and plenty of doughnut holes for breakfast, so it was a great start to the morning!

We had a brief introduction by one of the Kaplow interns (and previous mark. intern), Lauren, and then Liz Kaplow herself came to say hi and talk to us a little bit about what she does. Then, we had a presentation about what Kaplow is working on with mark. I was so amazed at how they are able to form relationships with different media outlets and editors, and create such a great buzz about mark.

Then we had three presentations from people working at Kaplow with clients other than mark. We heard about what they are doing with Skype, CafePress, and Target. We also got to meet a very special guest, Jorge Ramon, celebrity stylist. He also spent many years styling for TeenPeople. You can also catch him on TLC's show, 10 Years Younger and he occasionally pops up on entertainment/celebrity shows. He was very nice and even gave us some fashion pointers! Below is a picture of all the interns with Jorge.

Besides getting to go to work at an amazing place every day, and going on fabulous field trips, all of the interns are really enjoying getting to know New York City. This past weekend, I was finally able to visit the American Girl Place on 5th Avenue. Now, I haven't played with dolls in a very long time, and I was definetely one of the oldest people there, but it was so cool to see all the dolls and their little accessories and clothes! I also went with a couple other interns last night to Century 21, a huge discount department store. We got some really cute stuff and saved a lot of money!

We are also enjoying the warmer weather that we've had since the weekend. It's a very nice change from all the rain, but I still carry my umbrella with me everywhere I go, just in case! Hopefully the rain will hold off until after July 4 so that we can see some fireworks!
