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!
