Ann Arbor Firm Offers Eco-Friendly Internship

Most companies hiring interns expect them to drive to the office every day.

But Ingenex Digital Marketing, an interactive marketing company in Ann Arbor, has taken a new approach this summer.

Instead of asking cash-strappedstudents to spend their summer driving to work, Ingenex has set up a new and eco-friendly internship that allows interns to work from home four days a week.

Ingenex's eco-friendly interns are currently focusing on social media marketing, search engine optimization, pay-per-click Google Adwords, digital marketing strategy, and online public relations.

The eco-friendly interns are:

* Lia Homeister, who completed her sophomore year at Michigan State University. Homeister, an advertising major, is learning digital skills that will help her become a better media planner.

* Grant Heitkamp, a recent graduate of Michigan State University’s advertising program, is becoming an expert in all aspects of digital marketing with plans to implement these skills for future employers.

* Kevin Conlon, also a recent graduate of MSU with a degree in advertising, hopes his digital marketing expertise will be valuable in an account management role with future employers.

Ingenex is run by CEO Derek Mehraban, a Michigan Stateadvertising graduate. The company provides services in interactive and Web, search engine marketing, social media and more. Its clients include West System, Campusfaves.com, and Inforum Michigan.
