Magazines.com’s new intern extraordinaire, Jenny Patterson, introduces herself and gears up for a very social summer.

I’m so excited to be spending my summer as the new social media intern for Magazines.com. After recently relocating to Nashville, I have been looking for the perfect opportunity, and I jumped at the chance to work for such a great organization. Marketing is my passion and, like any good fashion trend, I love to be the first person in the know. Social media is all about being on-trend and having direct communication with you, the lovely readers, posters, tweeters and pinners.

In my past positions, I’ve never had the chance to solely focus on the social media world, but in my new role I finally get to give it my full attention. As the social media intern, I will be responsible for various social media opportunity projects and proposals, blogging, maintaining our Intranet and assisting with our current social media interactions. Magazines.com already has a great following on Facebook and Twitter with some fabulous discussions, and I hope to continue our dialogue.

One specific channel I’m particularly interested in growing for Magazines.com is our Pinterest page. I see great potential for Pinterest with the average visitor spending at least 15 minutes on the site. Personally, that’s on the low side of how much time I spend repining and liking various photos. Anyone else ever find yourself in a “pinning stupor,” suddenly wondering where the last hours of your life have gone? The goal is to get our passions and ideas as a company on our page for our followers to enjoy, and I already have some great ideas, so stay tuned.

If you haven’t already, make sure you stop by one of our social media channels to look around or say hello. I love hearing from our customers and followers, and I know we’re going to have a very social summer!
