The Munky on our backs
Mayank Garg, aka Munky is back at Innovations_Digital. Last summer’s whiplash inducing summer intern Mayank had joined Innovations via his tweetdeck. It was Innovation’s first via-social recruitment, and that’s now a bit of a case study.
This year, Mayank flew in from the reputed University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, to the 40° heat-in-the-kitchen via Amsterdam on KLM. Code named ‘Munky’, Garg has studied Human Computer Interaction, and this is his second stint with I_D. Last year he worked on designing and developing key projects for L’Oreal, Dubai Duty Free, HP and EmiratesNBD. This year he’s going to be working on multiple projects as well.
Munky is part designer, part code warrior, part social marketing expert, and part student. His website (mgarg.com) reflects his multi-talented persona.
His challenge is to help recontextualize and constantly update/upgrade the Innovations_Digital offering. And be himself for the most part. Welcome Munky.
I_D invites ASD Seniors & Grads for Summer Internship
Seniors and graduates of the American School in Dubai – as well as any other school or college in Dubai – are invited this summer to come and discover the world of digital communications and advertising at I_D. The ‘internship’ program is student-driven and has no time framework. “We ask that you come in at least for a week, but you’re welcome to hang out the whole of summer.” said Mayank Garg, who is Creative Technologist at I_D.
The I_D invitation for summer internship at our Dubai office is open to any High School Senior or Graduate as well as University attending students from Dubai and Sharjah, but a special invitation is going out to ASD students. “Usually, there’s no compensation, but if you come and write a million dollar app for the iPhone, you’re surely going to get rewarded heavily” said Tom Roy, CEO.
Innovations_Digital was founded in 2005 as one of the very first pure play digital agencies in Dubai. Over the years, summer internships at I_D have led to several bright careers in digital agencies in Dubai and elsewhere. Interns will learn hands-on and by participating and watching. Projects will include Search Engine Optimization and Marketing (SEO/SEM), Social Media marketing, web design and development, writing for online, project coordination and client account servicing. Coffee making is not on the cards.
