MY NEW TEACHER: SETH GODIN

A couple weeks ago I blogged to say that I had applied for a place on Seth Godin’s summer internship in New York. I didn’t get it. I did however get invited to join his online internship during the summer months. A group of almost 100 top marketing students from around the world will be working together, sharing knowledge and learning from each other as well as from one of the greatest marketeers of all time and perhaps the world’s most influential marketing blogger. Exciting, eh?

We’ll be collaborating on marketing projects for Seth’s website Squidoo.com as well as completing a number of other tasks. At the end of the summer, Seth has stated his intention to showcase the CV’s of all the active interns on his phenomenally popular blog. Money can’t buy that kind of reccomendation.

For my first task I’m hoping to team up with Richard Millington who writes a very inciteful marketing blog at FeverBee.com. We have been asked to create lenses (web pages) on Squidoo about topics which interest us. We haven’t decided what our lenses will be about yet but I’m hoping we can write about the microblogging service Twitter. I shall keep you informed.
