About this listen

This week on the Creative Business Community Podcast, Erin is joined by Renee and intern-turned-team-member Kyah to explore how internships can supercharge creative businesses. We dive into mentoring styles that spark confidence and creativity, the real-world pace of marketing beyond uni, and smart ways to use AI without sounding robotic.

You’ll hear how the team tackles newsletter fatigue, brainstorms better ideas, and leverages cross‑generational perspectives to reach younger audiences (hello, student happy hour). We unpack practical steps for hosting interns ethically and effectively, from setting clear objectives to building portfolios, plus why going through universities can make placements smoother.

Kyah shares her biggest takeaways, what’s next as she heads into advertising design, and a sunny shout‑out to small business Salty Dunes. Tune in for actionable advice on mentoring, marketing and making the most of internships in a creative business.
