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
