Work with the full-time sponsorship staff on maintaining relationships with 200+ partners and associates.  Aid in the prospecting and researching of new prospective partners.  Advised in the creation of promotions for the Islanders social media posts use out side of the box thinking, participate in ideation meetings, creating new promotions and partner tie-ins.  Assist with activation of existing partnerships by individually dealing with clients on game nights and providing them with anything that is needed.  Performed in the game night duties of the sponsorship department such as running the required advertisements on the Halo and digital dasher boards.  The most enjoyable part of this position was working every home game at the Nassau Coliseum, being able to attend games and learn about certain in game promotions and working events.

Overall, working for the Islanders was an average experience. I really enjoyed working with the people who had the same position as me and we were all very close but the culture in general was definitely sub-par. We did not do many activities outside of the office together and it did not come off as a place where people were happy to go to work every day. My boss was great though. Expectations were not too tough but what bothered me the most was that we got paid a lower amount especially in terms of commission than other sports organizations.

Being on the Hype team for the NY Islanders was pretty awesome. I entered the team kinda late in the season, however, I had the best time learning about the insides of Hockey & getting to experience the games as I worked. Game days were about 2/3 times a week and went quick, honestly felt like I wasn't at work sometimes lol. Wasn't at all demanding, except having to roll up a bunch of shirts to throw, other than that it was a great side job for me with decent pay. Only reason I decided not to go back was transportation time & distance. I live in Jersey & it just doesn't work out for me anymore.
They do have you audition for the position within a group assigned at audition day.

Typical work day was always looking for new business to take advantage of the branding and entertainment opportunity's available to clients.  Learned how to be a good listener helps in the sales process.  I liked the hands off management approach.  The hardest part of the job at times is getting to meet with the "yes, no" person, getting passed the gate keeper.  The most enjoyable part of the job is when you get a sale it is like a natural high.

Working as a marketing intern for the Islanders was a great experience. The team really allowed you to test out any department that you wanted and gain experience wherever you felt could positively influence yourself. They definitely involved the interns in a lot of work that you knew would ultimately go back into the team's work once the season begun. The job was challenging at times but in a good way, it challenged you to be creative, innovative, and original and I couldn't ask for anything more.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working in sports!  Upper management has great experience and are a great source of information.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It can be pretty fast paced, but the team is usually prepared to handle different projects internally.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great work environment, great culture.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Few meetings, then handling upcoming projects and open roles.

I would arrive at the workplace and consume bagels. Next I would go to an office and make phone call to various ticket holders. Next I would research ways in which to entice new clients. I would often converse with players on new ways encourage more fans to attend the games. The most difficult part of the internship was contacting/communicating with very different personalities. However I loved learned about marketing schemes and techniques.

The sales staff at the New York Islanders was a tight knit crew. I felt as much apart of the Islanders team as the players. A typical day at work included managing all of our season ticket holder accounts, as well as generating new leads and sales. 

The most enjoyable part of the job was working side by side with Islanders personnel. It was very motivating knowing I was apart of a professional sports team.

I interned with the the now terminated Nassau County office, and not the current Brooklyn site, so unfortunately I cannot speak about the future of the organization.  Although, the offices at the Coliseum treated me excellently and I learned a great deal.  The culture was almost family-like, and I definitely enjoyed my time there.

A typical day of work consisted of coming in and dealing with all in office and out office game day operations. I would help out all around in every department. It was long hours but worth it to get a great understanding of the culture of the NY Islanders. Everyone was very nice and super helpful.
