During my studies I did an internship abroad at Optimanova Solutions and got the opportunity to deepen my skills in online marketing. The team consists of young and dynamic people who made me feel like a full member of the team from day one. This feeling was reinforced by the varied and responsible tasks I was assigned. The two biggest areas of work (among many others) were Google AdWords and link marketing. Previous knowledge is not necessary, you are very well introduced to new tasks and tools. You can work independently on your tasks and ask for guidance or feedback if needed at any time. I would recommend the internship at Optimanova Solutions, it is a great stepping stone into the SEM. I am very grateful for what I have learnt and for who I met during my experience on the Canary Islands!

Having studied International Business Management, I had no prior knowledge of Online Marketing. That’s why I am all the more grateful for getting a deep insight into the world of SEO and SEA. It encouraged me to explore job opportunities in this future-oriented business.
From the start of my internship, I was involved in different very interesting projects in several languages. The experience at Optimanova allowed me to develop my skills, to work independently and exchange ideas about digital marketing trends.
I am truly grateful for the opportunity to work with such an international, experienced and lovely team.

The digitising of our world brings a lot of challenges and opportunities. Especially the world of marketing changed a lot in the last decade. Flyers and banners are disappearing whereas online-marketing strategies are getting more and more relevant. No wonder! Digitalisation helps to advertise in a more targeted and customized way.
Within this internship at Optimanova with the help of a fantastic team in a great work environment and a lot of excellent office snacks, I got a deep insight into those digital marketing strategies.
Why is a good backlink profile significant? How do I increase my Google rankings and how do I write and publish high-quality content?
Soon you will know it as well!

My internship at Optimanova gave me the chance to be a fully-fledged member of the team. I had plenty of responsibilities and learned relevant digital marketing skills while working on real projects for real clients. Although I arrived with nearly zero knowledge about this field now I am leaving feeling confident about my digital marketing skills. On top of everything, I really enjoyed living in the beautiful island of Tenerife, and I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to gain basic knowledge about digital marketing.

On my search for an internship I stumbled across Optimanova, a digital marketing agency located in beautiful Tenerife and I couldn’t have been more lucky to find such an awesome and rewarding internship.

When I arrived at the office on my first day I immediately felt like a full-fledged team member and started to work independently on tasks. Thanks to the friendly and helpful team, I quickly found my way into the world of digital marketing, despite my very little previous knowledge. Through diverse tasks I had the chance to get to know different aspects of online marketing and to expand my knowledge. I also had the opportunity to get certified in Google AdWords and Google Analytics.

Additionally, I really enjoyed working with such a young, passionate and international team that always made me look forward to the next day of work and that always had time for a good laugh.

I want to thank everyone at Optimanova for this great experience and I wish I could’ve stayed longer.

I studied languages, management and marketing. When I was looking for an internship abroad, I found Optimanova, a young and dynamic looking startup on a paradisiac island.

On my very first day I was welcomed with croissants, tea and smiles. The office is modern, well located and we have a beautiful view of Teide from the terrace. From day one I was introduced to the world of digital marketing and terms as exotic as keyword planner, quality score or domain authority. I’ve also had the opportunity to pass the Google AdWords and Google Analytics certifications thanks to several in house training sessions.

During the last six months, I have gained many valuable skills that will definitely boost my career and I would like to express my gratitude to all of my workmates for their help, patience and kindness.

First, I would like to say thank you to the Optimanova team, and to each individual who impacted and taught me the power of digital marketing during these past months. From day one I was treated as a team member and was welcomed with open arms. I was not put to any stereotypical intern duties, but directly to work with hands on tasks of learning, studying, and marketing various companies around the world.

That’s what intrigued me the most, with great leaders within who instructed me, how to, and what to do to fulfil customer needs and wants with the use of digital marketing. During my time spent within the company, I had a wonderful experience and time working with everyone, talking, and learning more about the industry. A great space to grow, learn and work for anyone that has an interest or is looking to pursue a career in digital marketing.

I arrived at Optimanova with no prior experience of working in the field of digital marketing but was eager to learn about the online world. My first impression of the company was a good one. I was introduced to the team who were very welcoming – they took me under their wing and supplied me with free snacks and drinks every day!

Shortly after arriving, my training and introduction to clients began. The initial training sessions covered the basics of digital marketing but they quickly gained pace and increased in technicality as my knowledge and understanding expanded.

I was given a variety of tasks including:SEO, SEM and content marketing, to name a few. I also had opportunity to further explore areas of particular interest to me. Being able to engage in a diverse range of tasks not only increased my technical knowledge but helped to improve my soft skills such as: ability to meet tight deadlines, prioritisation of workload and time management. These invaluable skills are transferable to any job and have made me a more well-rounded individual.

Working at Optimanova has truly been an incredible and fun experience. The multinational team was incredible to be a part of and has opened my eyes to new cultures and opportunities. I shall treasure my 9 months spent on the Island. The work, the people and the place have helped me to grow, both personally and professionally. I am sincerely thankful to the Company for the opportunities they have provided and have thoroughly enjoyed working with such an awesome team!

My internship at Optimanova was a very enriching experience. The tasks included a big variety of the world of SEO, content marketing and SEM. Due to the many different tasks and the help of the team at Optimanova it was a lot of fun to work. The team at Optimanova was super welcoming and always helping out. What I have to point out is that, thanks to the internship I directly found a job after my studies in the field of Online Marketing, which I wouldn’t have got without the knowledge I gained there.
I am very grateful that I had the chance to do the internship in such a great company with even greater people!

The world of Online Marketing was completely new to me, and it was a pleasure to explore this exciting world! I gained lots of experience and learnt everything from SEO, to SEM, to Keyword Research, to Analytics, to Social Media Promotions, and more. I really feel like I learnt a lot and gained lots of useful skills regarding the future. Different training sessions and weekly meetings gave me the know-how to confidently work on real tasks with real clients. Thanks to the support of my colleagues and the friendly working atmosphere, I thoroughly enjoyed my internship in the multicultural environment of Optimanova! I feel like I was automatically accepted into the company and trusted with a variety of different tasks. I never had to hesitate when asking for help since everyone was always willing to help with open arms. I feel like my opinions were always taken into consideration and appreciated. I even got to work on specific tasks that really interested me, such as some programming tasks, Google Tag Manager & Google Analytics. I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better internship experience, with lovelier people, in a more beautiful place. I feel extremely lucky to have been a part of the Optimanova team!

“What is SEO? SEM? SERP? How do you read html?” These are only a few out of thousands of questions I had to bombard my Optimanova colleagues with. Having studied languages, I had no idea of what to expect from digital marketing when I arrived to Tenerife. Thanks to their knowledge, international experience and patience and the friendly work environment, today I can say that I have learned many new skills. During my 6-months-internship, the company entrusted me with numerous responsibilities, some of which I took care of entirely by myself. I was also involved in ongoing big and small projects in various languages and I can definitely say that I was treated like an equal member of the Optimanova team. The company also gave me the opportunity to become certified by Google AdWords. Thank you for this enriching experience! I couldn’t ever hoped for a better internship with lovelier people!

Before I started my internship at Optimanova I hardly knew anything about Online Marketing. But due to a lot of help from the team, regular meetings and daily “learning by doing” I began to understand quickly and soon felt as real part of the company. In the large variety of different project I was allowed to take part in I could not only learn about the different topics such as SEO, SEM and SMO, but also apply my knowledge in foreign languages. The internship was a mixture of learning and applying the learned things in the daily working life. Together with the international team and a friendly work environment I can say that I really enjoyed my time as intern and that I am sure my new knowledge will be helpful for my future.
