Bay Inc's Internship offers invaluable Experience in Marketing & Advertising


  The summer of 2011 has been a very busy one for Bay Inc. Regardless, the summer break means one things: internships. Bay provides local students who are on summer break with work experience that they cannot get on any college campus or in any large lecture hall.
Owner Alon Brener is more than aware of the important fundamentals learned while participating in an internship. “Everyone did an internship while in school. Most internships involve running errands, getting coffee or picking up the mail.” Brener continued, “we give our internship participants real-world marketing experience. They leave here with business savvy and the skills to work for any large company promoting that brand and creating tangible results.”

Sphere Management Group Intern Stephanie Bennis
One of Bay's top internship participants is Stephanie Bennis. Bennis is starting her Sophomore year at Chico in the fall. Her work ethic and ability to excel in aiding the marketing department have made her a great success during her short tenure at Bay. Nonetheless, she knows more is required to maintain her progress. “I have gotten incredible experience that will give me great advantages when I apply for jobs in the future, but I know coming back next summer will help me further develop great leadership skills.” Bennis went on to say, “I have had a wonderful time working at Bay this summer. I don’t feel like a traditional ‘intern’, I felt like a peer.”  Bennis and the other participants in the Bay paid internship program will continue to work this summer until the program ends on August 20th.

Expansion to Seattle, Washington

  After witnessing success in Northern California, BAY recently announced its decision to further the success of the Corporate Events division by expanding to the Northwest Seattle, Washington. BAY launched the Corporate Events Division in 2008 to further solidify its position as the leading promotional advertising and marketing firm on the West Coast. In the short time since the launch of the division, BAY has enjoyed exponential growth, with the addition of over one hundred and twenty clients. Responding to a demand by sports and entertainment clients in the Northwest, Bay is sending its top Event Coordinator, Sarah Lim, to head the division based in Seattle.

   We are only too pleased to promote Ms. Lim, once again to this position of responsibility.  She has a proven track record of excellence, and I have complete faith in her capacity as Event Coordinator to continue the success of the division in this huge, unopened market,  states Alon Brener, one of BAY's top executives. Ms. Lim began her career with the company as an entry-level associate in the Promotional Advertising Department, but quickly advanced into a leadership position, training the newer members of the team and spearheading several campaigns. Ms. Lim's hard work and great attitude accelerated her advance into Management, a position that allowed her to manage the San Jose Market for the Promotional Advertising Department. Her tenure as a Manager of the San Jose Market prepared Ms. Lim well for her eventual transfer to the Corporate Events Division, where she served as an Event Coordinator. Recognizing the potential the Northwest market, BAY will send Ms. Lim to head the satellite office in Seattle and oversee the activity of the division in the Washington area.

BAY is the West Coasts foremost promotional advertising and marketing firm dedicated to providing outstanding service for its clients through direct marketing and promotional events. Utilizing an effective, personal and results driven approach, BAY has seized every opportunity and used its initial success to add to its impressive portfolio of one hundred and twenty sports and entertainment clients. The three divisions servicing BAY all factor into BAY's ever growing success, demanding expansion of these divisions nationwide. BAY is heading into the future full steam ahead with the goal of opening more offices throughout the country and even internationally. The expansion of the Corporate Events Division to Seattle is the first step towards that direction, and the first of many more to come. Learn more about the company at BAYMKTG.COM.
