Greenteam Global

          Why GreenTeam? To be honest, the first reason why I chose to apply for an internship there, was because one of my life long friends' father is the VP of Brand Strategy. “It’s all about the people you know”. Don’t get it twisted though; I didn’t want an easy "A". I wanted to get a real sense of this “corporate environment” that everyone always spoke of- I want to work hard. The personal connection just pointed me in the direction of a firm without searching for one. 

            Not only did I know an executive, the company itself is very intriguing to me. GreenTeam’s mission statement is: “to inform, inspire and awaken brands so that people, planet and business can all thrive”. GreenTeam’s Work includes, but is not limited to: National Geographic “A campaign to promote the health of oceans”, Coca-Cola/Walmart “an in-store campaign to promote sustainability”, Jaguar “a campaign to save Jaguar’s namesake” and Dominica “a repositioning of a country”.  

            Who doesn’t like to think of themselves as a humanitarian? A person “of the people, for the people”. I thought to myself: “not only is this the kind of career I want, but I would be doing good, actual good, in the world”.
