Can you tell us about your initial experience at Brandsymbol?
Emilie Tolley
“My journey at Brandsymbol began as a production intern during my junior year of college. Balancing a double major in music performance and philosophy pre-law, I was exploring various career paths, including IP law. However, my internship ignited a passion for the dynamic world of branding. I continued contracting after graduation and eventually transitioned to a full-time project manager. The collaborative production team and fast-paced agency life fueled my enthusiasm for the industry.
As Brandsymbol expanded, an exciting opportunity arose to leverage my production experience in the marketing department. Eager for new challenges, I embraced the transition. I am passionate about contributing to the company’s growth as my role continues to evolve at Brandsymbol. The chance to collaborate across departments and build meaningful client relationships is incredibly rewarding.”
