Quotes from Past Interns

 

“I am the owner of Black Dog Media Co. We work with local businesses, brands, entrepreneurs and athletes in creating social media content that captivates their desired audience. I believe video is one of the most powerful ways to share a story and promote a mission. At Big Sky State Games I was the PR and Marketing intern, during my time there I had the ability to dive deeper into social media marketing and creating/editing videos that showed potential participants and fans what the event was all about. That experience solidified what I enjoyed most about marketing and was able to take all I learned and run with it in starting my own business in my hometown and surrounding areas. I now serve Spokane Washington, Coeur d’Alene Idaho and all of the PNW.”Emile T. – 2023

“Interning with the Big Sky State Games team over the past three summers was an exceptional experience that I would not trade for anything! Not only did I gain valuable skills and knowledge, but I also established enduring relationships with the staff and commissioners who made every summer memorable. The supportive and collaborative environment facilitated my growth both professionally and personally, and I would highly recommend this opportunity to anyone seeking to learn, challenge themselves, and be a part of something meaningful.”   – Avery H – 2023/2024/2025
