02/2021 | PUMA Germany
Seun Omodara interned at PUMA Germany:
‘’I am currently having my internship in the ‚Teamsport Licensed’ department at PUMA headquarter in Herzogenaurach, Germany. My team is responsible for the conceptualization, creation, and management of football apparel for our licensed clubs and federations, including Manchester City, AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Marseille, and the national teams of Italy, Austria, and Switzerland.
My role as an intern includes assisting the product line managers in conducting audience and comparative competitor analysis, drafting public relations strategies, assisting in style creation, as well as arranging and managing prototypes for global licensed clubs and national teams. It is very exciting working at PUMA and observing patterns of virtual global business communication in a changing work landscape.
The work culture is diverse and being in such multicultural team has sharpened my intercultural communication skills and equipped me with practical knowledge of communication in international enterprises.“

Esteban Farías interned at LSG Lufthansa Service Holding AG in Frankfurt, Germany, for a period of 6 months.
"The main focus of the LSG Group is to provide the best culinary and hospitality experiences to different airlines worldwide. My role as an intern in the global communications department was to support the team in the creation of content such as stories, interviews, photos, and infographics for external and internal communication channels. One of the most interesting stories I wrote was an interview I conducted with a chef in Cairo. "Being a chef during Ramadan in the time of Coronavirus"
Moreover, I also had the opportunity to develop my own research project related to the social network Twitter, in addition to supporting the team in the content for external communication channels, such as LinkedIn and Instagram.
Despite the difficulties that 2020 brought with the pandemic, in a way I am grateful to have done an internship during this world crisis, especially in a global communications department. Personally, I consider it a challenging experience that I hope will help me continue building my professional future."
