Gia’s Digital Marketing Internship
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your background?
“My name is Gia Bui, a 22-year-old Vietnamese. My life has become more vibrant since I moved to the UK to pursue a degree in Business Management and Marketing. After two years of hard work and growth, I’m interning as a Digital Marketer at BuzzGen, a dynamic marketing firm in the Midlands. While public speaking isn’t my favourite activity, I’m not shy and genuinely enjoy meeting new people. I’m passionate about movies, podcasts, and fashion, and I also love producing videos.”
How did you get started in your field?
“I began my journey when I started university, trying out different roles and jobs in various industries to discover and understand my strengths. It was when I worked as a digital marketer for a start-up company specializing in compact cameras that I knew marketing was my calling. My manager back then told me I had a gift for marketing, reflected in the success and metrics of every campaign I managed. This passion for marketing led me to pursue higher education abroad and seek more opportunities for myself.”
What attracted you to this BuzzGen for your internship?
“When I began searching for an internship after graduation, I was based in Cheltenham and naturally focused on companies in the Midlands. I came across BuzzGen on LinkedIn and was impressed by its rapid growth since its founding in 2023. Despite being relatively new, BuzzGen has quickly attracted a diverse range of clients and projects. This dynamic growth and the company’s innovative approach made BuzzGen the ideal place for me to start my career. I also believe that my international perspective and fresh take on modern marketing would make me a valuable addition to the team.”
How do you stay updated with the latest trends and developments in your field?
“My inspirations come from everyday life. Whether it’s taking a walk, observing people, or understanding what captivates them, I gain valuable insights. I also spend at least an hour a day on TikTok. Despite it’s bad reputation, it’s a great way to discover new ideas and trends globally. In my language, we have a saying in literal translation: ‘The egg is never smarter than the duck,’ which means the best way to grow and learn is by listening to those who have more experience and have walked the same path. Gaining insights from others, even in different industries, is incredibly enriching both professionally and personally.”
What are the common misconceptions about your industry?
“As mentioned earlier, some people might assume that marketing is just about spending hours on TikTok or social media for fun ideas. While creativity is important, effective marketing also involves data analysis, strategic planning, and understanding consumer behaviour. It’s crucial to balance creativity and analytical skills. A successful marketing campaign takes time, focusing on building relationships and creating value for customers, and requires long-term strategies and consistent effort.”
How have you found your digital marketing internship so far?
“It has been almost a month since I started working here, and thanks to Abbi and Mike, I have learned so much—from how a marketing firm operates to working with clients, search engine optimization and email marketing. BuzzGen has treated me incredibly well, accommodating my interests and fostering an environment that values innovation, collaboration, and open communication. This supportive atmosphere has helped me grow both personally and professionally.”
Where do you see yourself in five years?
“In five years, I envision myself as a well-rounded marketing professional with a strong focus on digital strategy. I aim to gain extensive experience at BuzzGen in campaign management, data analytics, and SEO, and to lead innovative marketing projects that harness emerging technologies and trends for impactful results. On a personal note, I’ve truly fallen in love with the UK—the traditions, the people, and even the hearty English breakfast have all contributed to me feeling more like myself. I look forward to embracing and contributing to this vibrant culture as I advance in my career and personal growth.”
