Burkhart Marketing Partners welcomes our new Spring 2024 Social Media and Digital Marketing Intern, Lily Schneider! Lily attends Butler University as a junior, studying Strategic Communication and Web Design & Development. Learn more about Lily and what she looks forward to during the upcoming spring semester by continuing to read below!

What drew you to advertising?

I wanted to find a creative field outside the traditional arts that challenged me. I decided to look into marketing and communications in my last year of high school. The communication program at Butler combined technology, creativity, and writing to provide opportunities for me.

Who or what inspires you?

I find inspiration in thinking about a content future for myself in a nice area with a cat and dog. I enjoy daydreaming about my life as an independent adult.

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a veterinarian until I saw a dog receiving jaw surgery on my first job shadow. That was the day I found out that blood made me queasy.

What do you think about when you’re alone in your car?

I always play music in my car. So, I think I’m giving a wonderful rendition of my favorite songs.

What is your most-used emoji?

🫶The heart hands. I think that it looks funny.

What is a professional goal that you hope to accomplish in the next five years?

I hope to enter the creative field at an advertising or marketing firm that inspires and challenges me to think outside the box.

You can have anyone fictional as your imaginary friend; who do you choose and why?

I want Stitch from Lilo and Stitch as my imaginary friend. His mischief would have me feeling positive all day. Also, Stitch is a cute and fuzzy alien.

Would you rather travel back in time to meet your ancestors or to the future to meet your descendants? Why?

I would rather travel to the future to meet my descendants because I want to know my legacy and stories. Also, I am curious about futuristic technology and cities.

If you could instantly be an expert in a subject, what would it be? Why?

I want to become an expert in foreign languages. I love the idea of being able to fluently speak a random language to mess with my friends and family.

What are you most excited for during your time with Burkhart?

I hope to become more familiar with social media marketing and want to leave my internship feeling confident in my digital marketing skills.
