Introducing the ActivEngage Social Media Interns [Videos]
by Justin Braun | January 13th, 2012
You may have noticed two new bylines at the top of this week’s ActivEngage blogs. You’re not seeing things, and no, Todd is not going by any new aliases.
You’re seeing those names because the ActivEngage Inbound Marketing Department is expanding! It is my pleasure to introduce to you the newest members of the ActivEngage team: Social Media Interns Stephen “Step” Jackson and Andrew Wells.
As part of the interview process for the internship, candidates were asked to write a blog as if they already worked for ActivEngage and to create a short, creative video illustrating why they are the right person for the position. Andrew and Stephen’s videos thoroughly impressed us.
Keeping with the fun atmosphere of ActivEngage culture, I asked Stephen and Andrew to write introductions for each other based on their mere 20 hours of working together. Below are the intros they wrote along with the videos they made as part of their application to the position.
Enjoy!

When I first met Andrew Wells, I thought he was merely a college student with an uncanny resemblance to Robert Downey Jr. I came to find in the past few days that he is also a really friendly guy with a strong knowledge of graphic design and social media, and a gracious Ping-Pong contender.
I am proud and excited to chair the lofty position of Social Media Intern alongside of him, where we will be continuing to author posts about the latest trends in web analysis and inbound marketing. Join me in welcoming Andrew Wells to ActivEngage!

Stephen Jackson- now this is a name you will be hearing a lot of in the near future for social marketing. In meeting Stephen for the first time, I was surprised to see the strong resemblance he had with none other than Mr. Steven Colbert, host/writer/executive producer of the Emmy and Peabody Award- winning series “The Colbert Report” on Comedy Central. It is safe to say that he holds himself in direct contrast to Mr. Colbert in that he voices his ideas in a straight forward manner rather than having you look between the lines of his humor. Simply put, Stephen Jackson’s highly exuberant personality radiates on whomever he encounters, leaving only smiles on people’s faces.
It is with my pleasure and honor to chair with Stephen in the position of Social Media Intern. With his distinguished knowledge and solid writing skills, I am certain that together we will generate the highest quality of posts on inbound marketing and web analysis. Together we are the Andrew Jackson Super PAC.
If you would, please help me in welcoming Stephen Jackson to ActivEngage!
