THE HILLS

MARKETING INTERN AT THE HILLS

As a Marketing Intern at The Hills, I contribute to the development of creative marketing materials, internal communications, and promotional campaigns that support both The Hills and Dune Deck Beach Club. Working across departments has strengthened my skills in creative strategy, branding, campaign development, and visual storytelling while giving me insight into how marketing initiatives come to life from concept to execution.

Throughout my internship, I've had the opportunity to bring ideas to life through a variety of creative projects, including employee recognition campaigns, marketing materials, member personas, and creative briefs. I collaborate closely with Present Studios, The Hills' branding and design team, throughout the creative process to ensure each design aligns with our vision before being finalized and shared. I have also gained experience working alongside Aether Films during a professional photo and video shoot at both clubs, where I observed the production process firsthand and learned how compelling visual content helps tell a brand's story.

This section showcases projects that highlight my creative process, cross-functional collaboration, design exploration, and the final approved pieces that reflect my passion for marketing, branding, and visual communication.

Photography & Video Production – Aether Films

Working alongside Aether Films during a professional photo and video shoot at The Hills and Dune Deck Beach Club was an exciting opportunity to experience the creative production process firsthand. From seeing the planning behind each shot to watching the clubs’ experiences come to life through photography and videography, I gained a deeper appreciation for how visual storytelling helps shape a brand.

Photography at Dune Deck

No two days during my internship looked the same, and that's what made the experience so rewarding. One day, I had the opportunity to capture original photography at Dune Deck Beach Club for use across the club's social media posts and Instagram Stories. Exploring the property through a creative lens allowed me to highlight the club's atmosphere, amenities, and member experience while creating content that aligned with the brand's identity. This experience strengthened my photography and visual storytelling skills and reinforced the impact that authentic, high-quality imagery has on engaging audiences through social media.

Employee Guide

One of my favorite projects was creating a comprehensive Employee Guide for Dune Deck and The Hills. I gathered information—from onboarding and transportation to housing, uniforms, company policies, local dining, and important contacts—and turned it into a polished, easy-to-navigate resource for new and returning employees. This project was especially rewarding because I was able to my creativity, organization, and design skills to create something that was not only visually engaging, but also genuinely useful to employees throughout the season.
