Internship

10 weeks of internship flew by in an instant. The meal times we had, the jokes we shared and the 10 weeks that I took for granted soon came to an end. I vividly recalled how I first self-sourced my internship at iFoundries… 

At Nanyang Technological University of Singapore (NTU), as a marketing major student, we focused on marketing fundamentals and strategies. I took on a digital marketing module (which was recently introduced) and that was my first brush with digital marketing.  It was an introductory course which exposed me to digital marketing jargons like SEO, SEM and concepts such as the DATA approach and Roger & Pepper’s 5 ‘I’s. I was really interested about inbound marketing; it was the new buzz in the digital marketing landscape, and I believe it will be playing an increasingly important role in the digital sphere. I felt that digital marketing was one of the many ways to connect with customers around the world and sought to learn more about it. Unfortunately there were no further digital marketing courses that NTU could offer. Inbound marketing was considered too specialized. Undeterred, I look into digital marketing agencies (particularly Hubspot) for any potential internship to further broaden my horizon and to decide if I wanted digital marketing to be a part of my life.

Top Inbound Marketing Agencies In Singapore

Importance of Inbound Marketing

Gone are the days where regular sales tactics and traditional marketing are able to generate huge revenue. Customers now defer to the internet to check reviews, product features and opinions from thought leaders before making an informed decision.

Inbound Marketing is about creating useful and informative content to educate your customer about their pain points and helping them in their thought process, without introducing your product or service at all.  The aim is to establish trust and reliability in the eyes of your customers. Only after your customers are fully informed and ready to make a decision, you introduce your product or service to them and how it addresses their pain points better than others.
