The Clickable Search Engine Marketing Blog

I completed my sophomore year of high school at Hun School in Princeton, New Jersey and wanted to take advantage of the summer. In order to sharpen my entrepreneurial skills I sought out an internship. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but my ambition forced me to find a startup that was in the Internet industry where I could learn as well as help the company with my own skills. I was intrigued with Clickable, a newcomer to the online advertising and technology industry. It’s an impressive advertising management platform and its reputation is growing quickly.
 
After contacting the company, Max replied back and suggested I attend Interesting Café, Clickable’s monthly culture night. Despite being 15 years old and the youngest person ever to attend this event, I fit right in. After meeting the team and seeing the office I knew the place would be successful and I wanted to be a part of it.
 
A few weeks later, fortunately, I began my internship at Clickable, working with Max on the marketing and community team. In addition to my specific assignments, I learned a lot from my colleagues, including CEO David Kidder. For example, I learned a lot about how to become a successful entrepreneur (i.e., “execute like hell”). It also was exciting to see the company grow in my short six weeks, including the hiring of Dave Fall as Clickable’s 100th employee.
 
One of my most valuable experiences was learning about Clickable’s culture. It’s a company that identified a massive problem and sought to change the game. Clickable culture includes hiring the best team and being honest, fair and a trusted advisor and friend to its customers. To have a Clickable culture means having a unique product with a team that creates a connection with customers by making things simple. I am proud to have worked with such a fantastic group of people. Clickable is truly unique.
 
My experience is sure to guide my future entrepreneurial endeavors. Plus, I made a little cash to invest into my future startup.

Nice post Herwig, you seemed to have gained a lot of experience from these marketers.

I'm looking forward to seeing your first successful start-up!

Herwig, we loved having you and hope you'll come back. Unless you start your own company first.

@Max & @Herwig, do you remember the days when people used to have a firm grasp of grammar?
