Life at Cadent: Eleanor Andresen, Marketing Intern

Meet Eleanor Andresen — originally from Ridgefield, Connecticut. She currently attends the University of Miami with a major in communications studies and a minor in political science. Eleanor joined the Cadent team in the 2023 Summer Intern class as a Marketing Intern where she supported our marketing team by writing blog posts, conducting market research, and more! After she graduates, she mentioned she wants to use her communications degree to work in the entertainment industry. Recently, we sat down with Eleanor to learn more about her and her experience as an intern at Cadent. 

Tell us a fun fact about yourself. 

I am a singer! I perform in an A Cappella group at the University of Miami and have spent most of my life taking voice lessons and performing. 

Where can we find you if you’re not at work or school? 

In my free time, I love traveling, trying new restaurants, catching up with my favorite TV shows, and spending time with friends. 

What was your favorite project you worked on during your internship and why? 

My favorite project this summer was our final project because it allowed me to see so many sides of the company and learn new things. We worked with the media planners to create media plans that suited our audiences, worked with the sales team to understand how to successfully pitch our ideas, and the marketing team assisted with presentation skills. It was extremely rewarding to receive valuable feedback from executives, and it felt like the best accomplishment to show at the end of my summer! 

What is one thing you wish you would have known prior to joining Cadent? 

I didn’t know how much goes into the world of television advertising and AdTech overall. Everyone helped catch us up to speed, but in the beginning, there was definitely a learning curve. 

What advice would you give to an incoming intern at Cadent? 

Don’t be afraid to meet people from other teams and find ways to collaborate! Even though your internship is specialized, connecting with new colleagues is always possible.
