Summer Internship Spotlight: Samantha Cotlov at DanoneWave

Iām focusing my MBA on marketing, with an emphasis on the brand management side.ĢżI come from the advertising world and decided to pursue an MBA to help switch over from the agency side to the client side.

This summer, Iām working for , a CPG company that specializes in yogurts, coffee creamers, premium dairy, and plant based beverages.ĢżIām a brand management intern and am working in the Broomfield, CO office, which is about 15 minutes away from the CU campus.ĢżĢżThere are 6 other brand management MBA interns in the Broomfield office with me, hailing from Cornell, Berkeley, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Wash U. Itās been great hearing about their programs and getting to know a new cohort of MBAs outside of CU (although, nothing compares to my fellow Buffs!).ĢżWeāve had a ton of employee trainings on corporate structure and building leadership skills, which have helped to emphasize the value the company has placed on our success while here.ĢżWeāve also had several happy hours and weekend excursions with just interns, which has been great for team building.

Since starting my internship, I feel like Iāve been challenged every day and exposed to SO much across so many different team functions. The experience and knowledge Iāve gained here will help make me a stronger marketer in the future, and Iām happy that the internship has already proven to be immensely valuable in helping my career.
