Giulia’s Internship Journey at Owlin
Spotlight on the People of Owlin
At Owlin, we couldn’t do what we do without the incredible contributions of our team, including the fresh perspectives brought in by our interns. In our interview series, The People of Owlin, we spotlight the individuals behind the company, diving into their daily work, growth, and experiences. In this edition, Giulia, our Marketing Intern, shares how she’s navigated the world of fintech and B2B marketing, the excitement of leading cross-functional projects, and what she’s learned along the way. Let’s check in on how she is doing!
How is your internship going so far?
“It’s going well! At first, I was a bit overwhelmed because fintech and B2B marketing were completely new to me, but now I’m genuinely enjoying it. The learning curve was steep, but thanks to the super supportive marketing team, I was able to find my place and start contributing to exciting projects quickly.”
What’s been the highlight of your time here at Owlin?
“Being trusted with big, meaningful projects like the video series I’m currently working on with the Customer Success team. It feels amazing to be part of something so impactful, and the collaboration between teams has been a truly enjoyable and proud moment for me. It made me feel like I’m not ‘just’ an intern!”
What are some new things you’ve learned over the past three months?
“So much! I’ve learned how to use tools like Slack, HubSpot, and WordPress, and I’ve also significantly improved my skills in Canva and PowerPoint. I’ve also gained a deeper understanding of B2B marketing, especially in the fintech space, and now I can confidently talk about topics like KYC and third-party risk management — things I had zero clue about before!”
Have you faced any challenges, and how did you overcome them?
“Absolutely — the biggest challenge was getting familiar with the fintech industry itself. Coming from a B2C background at university, I didn’t understand what Owlin was selling at first or how to market it. However, with the team’s help, through one-on-one interviews, research tasks, and a lot of patience, I eventually arrived. Another challenge was redesigning some visual materials I thought I’d never be able to handle, but I pushed through and ended up surprising myself with what I could do!”
Which project or task got you the most excited and why?
“The video project with Customer Success has been my favorite. It’s exciting to be involved in something that blends creativity with strategy, and I love that it’s focused on the customer side — it makes the work feel even more real and relevant. Plus, it’s such a fun way to learn more about how different departments work together.”
