Meet Matteo, Our Futures and Options Winter Intern

Earlier this week, we introduced Brianna, who is one of our Winter Career Technical Education Interns. This internship program stems from IPG Mediabrands’ partnership with Futures and Options, a program dedicated to assisting the career development program of New York City’s underserved teens.

Today, we’re thrilled to introduce Matteo Perez, a junior at High School of Art and Design. Matteo will join his manager, Dominick Martino, and our Client Strategy team to learn about Orion and our industry, while developing his professional skills.

We sat down with Matteo for a quick chat.

What are your first impressions about Orion?

I think the company is something that I’ve never really heard of, but seems like the backbone of anything to do with media. Learning about what we do in finance and managing all these other companies’ media is really important but it’s not something you see out there too much.

What are you looking forward to learning and experiencing while you’re here?

I want to learn how to be a more well-rounded person, in general, and a well-rounded business person in the working world. When I grow up I want to not just be into art, but I also want to focus on financial matters because I think it will be essential to me in the future.

What are your educational/professional aspirations?

I’m very passionate about art and I’m interested in working as a game designer or animator. I want to be able to inspire people in the same way that media, games and animation have inspired me to create.
