Olo Space is a digital health platform designed to help people manage their mental, physical, and emotional well-being. The platform offers sound journeys and embodiment practices that aid in releasing and regulating the nervous system.
I attained this internship through a coincidence. Besides studying I teach embodied movement practices, and one of my colleagues gave me a tip about a star-tup that is utilizing nervous-system regulation through embodiment practices in an app. I was thrilled to hear that Olo Space was gathering a team of experts and looking for a marketing and communication intern. The opportunity combines my passions for communications, marketing, and embodied movement. I get to work in an inspiring international team that is consisting of experts in sound, Ux design, somatic practices, growth hacking, branding, business development, and neurology.
A beta version of the app can be downloaded from the App Store as of 07.03.2023. The app is still in the developing stage. Hence the app will go through a major growth process during my internship. There are going to be new features added to the application almost weekly and I am responsible for monitoring customer feedback received through social media. I am very excited to get follow and be a part of the development of the app and the brand as we gain more user experiences and feedback. You can follow my journey as an intern at Olo through their Instagram.

As an intern at a fresh start-up, I have a variety of tasks that are shape-shifting during the Internship according to the needs of the company. I am working 100% remotely and designing my work and way of working independently. I have a weekly check-in with my supervisor about the tasks that I have planned to work on and how I have managed my time. As I am writing this blog post, it is already my second week of working for Olo Space. My first task is to develop a content management part line and social media marketing strategy. I am in charge of creating content for social media channels using Canva, Figma, and AI-based tools such as Chat GPT and Jasper. I need to ensure the quality of the aesthetics of the social media channels by following the guidelines presented in a brand book and collaborating with the brand designer of the company. In addition, my tasks include monitoring and measuring the effectiveness of digital marketing with an emphasis on social media marketing, SEO, and e-mail marketing.
As part of the internship, I am conducting research about the motivations for using emotional well-being applications. The research is going to offer some valuable data about the key characteristics of the target group for developing an effective marketing strategy. All in all, I am very excited to be a part of this project and grow as a part of the Olo team.
