A Day in the Life of an Olivia Management Intern!

By Faith Harting

Hi everyone! I’m Faith Harting and I am an intern here at Olivia Management. Today I am going to take you along with me for my day as an intern!


9:00am

I get to the office at 9am, say hi to everyone in the office, log onto Slack, and say good morning on there! 

First I look through all my notifications and see what happened on the days I wasn’t working. Then I go to Asana, our task software, and start on tasks that I may need to continue working on or any repeating tasks! (I am the OM Social Media Maven every week, which means coming up with ideas for the OM Instagram each week and keeping track of how each post does!) 

After that, I check the #interntasks slack channel and see if there are any tasks that need to be claimed!

10:00am

Since it is a Monday we have a staff meeting!

Everyone at OM (including the interns) joins this meeting either in the office or over Google Meets. During these meetings, we read our affirmations that we write each other each week, share one thing we are proud of ourselves for, and then go through each of our artists and discuss what we need to accomplish this week for them. 

These staff meetings are one of the best parts of interning at OM, in my opinion, because they’re always a little positivity boost that we could all use at the beginning of the week. It’s also really nice to be a part of these meetings as an intern so I can understand what we are working towards.

10:30/10:45am

After the meeting, I continue doing tasks!

12:00pm

I am a student at Belmont University so I have to leave around 12pm to go to my French class. On my way to campus, I stopped at Surefire (which is just outside the building) to get an iced chai latte with campfire syrup. Their campfire syrup is the absolute BEST.

1:00pm - 1:50pm 

French Class!

2:30 pm

I get back to OM at 2:30pm. Another weekly task I have is to get snacks for the office! I messaged in Slack to get everyone’s snack requests to make sure I get things everyone likes! Some of our staple snacks are:

  • Strawberry/Blueberry Poptarts

  • String cheese sticks

  • Fruit snacks

  • Pretzel crisps

  • Fig Newtons

  • Lime La Croix

  • Strawberry Lemon Poppi

Then I drive over to Publix (which is just around the corner) and get everything on my list!

When I get back from the store, I put everything away and reorganize the snack shelf and fridges a little. Then I checked asana/slack for my next task!

SNACKS!


5:00pm

Our work day is over at 5pm and we all log off for the day and head home!

Thanks for coming along with me for my day as an intern at Olivia Management! I hope this gave you a little bit of insight into the day to day at an artist management company. See you in the next blog!

Fall 2024 Intern Wrap Up!

By Lexi Ann Staebler

Being a part of the Olivia Management team has been such a rewarding and joyful experience these past few months! As this semester and our time at Olivia Management comes to a close, my fellow interns and I wanted to share things we’ve learned, our favorite stories, and how these experiences impacted us.

As a sophomore, this was my very first interning experience and I was super nervous to start. However, I soon found out that there was nothing to worry about. Olivia Management has a team of wonderful and supportive ladies who deeply care about who you are as a person. Every question I had was answered with care and I always felt at ease working alongside the OM team. I have gained so much experience and knowledge these past few months from Erin and everybody else that I will carry with me for a very long time.
My favorite memory was working at our AMERICANAFEST events and seeing all of the team’s preparation in action. The shows put in perspective to me the meaning behind the work OM does and how it affects these artists’ lives. Every little thing OM does has a purpose. They put so much work in and to see it all unfold was amazing. I’ve truly learned so much and I will miss everybody so much next semester! (I’ll be studying abroad in Greece so I’ll survive, but still, love you all!!)

Interning at Olivia Management this fall for my second semester at OM has been nothing short of amazing! As a senior music business major, I am always looking for hands on, real world experience for my career. Olivia Management has provided me with just that! Throughout my time here, I have had the privilege of working alongside a team of dedicated professionals who are deeply passionate about their work. I am so grateful for the opportunity to return this fall as an intern after my summer semester with Olivia Management! I truly am going to miss coming into the office everyday and working with the best team around.

Interning at Olivia Management has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The team is fantastic—always supportive and willing to answer any questions I have. I have loved working with each one of them. Their guidance has been invaluable, and I've learned so much about the music industry, from day-to-day operations to the bigger picture. I also had the opportunity to connect with some wonderful people in the music industry that I would not have met without this internship. I truly appreciate the opportunity to contribute and grow in such a positive and collaborative environment. I cannot wait to continue being a part of The Olivia Management team next semester!

During the last few months, my knowledge of the music industry has greatly expanded through my first-hand experiences with our artists and team at Olivia Management. I’ve had many incredible once-in-a-lifetime experiences, such as assisting with the development of Olivia Management’s AMERICANAFEST show and getting to go backstage and run merch for our artist, Mary Gauthier, at Nashville’s historically famous Ryman Auditorium. In addition, I’ve gained insight into tour operations, tips and tricks to build artists’ fanbases and elements in the interconnections between artist, management, and other key team members which together form the artist’s success. I’ll cherish not only the personal growth and knowledge I’ve gained at Olivia Management, but also the relationships with my fellow team members I’ve made in office and outside at special events. One of my favorite fun memories at OM was our pumpkin carving contest! Another amazing memory was the OM coffee and donut hour before our OM AMERICANAFEST showcase where I had the opportunity to meet some of our lovely artists and consulting clients! I’ll miss coming into the office and seeing these sweet, caring ladies next semester but will absolutely be keeping in touch!
