Kendall Krauss

I have a twin sister! We are Kendall and Kylie – not named after the Jenners, though!
Why did you choose Momentum for your Summer Internship, and what are your highlights so far?
I chose to work at Momentum this summer because I am passionate about all things marketing and wanted to explore the agency side of things after interning the past two summers on the brand side. Thus far, a highlight has been working on the William Grant & Sons team, where everyone has been incredibly welcoming and trusting of my abilities. I have also loved being fully immersed in the work, which has taught me that the best way to learn is by doing.
What’s one thing you’ve learned so far that you’ll take into your future career?
One thing that has stood out to me is the importance of clear and detailed communication, especially when working on projects with multiple people across different teams. With many people and moving parts involved in a lot of Momo’s work, alignment is key, and making sure every detail is communicated thoroughly ensures that projects run smoothly and goals are achieved. This experience has shown me how important strong communication is, and it is something that I will 100% take with me into both my professional career and academic work.

What’s one thing you’ve learned so far that you’ll take into your future career?
The XD team recently attended a “How to Moodboard 101” session, and it was AMAZING. It seems pretty simple on the surface, but what I’ve since learned is that moodboarding is both an art and a science. A successful moodboard is focused, inspired, and purposeful. Shout out to Madison!

The attention to detail, diligence, and collaboration between departments has been truly eye-opening to be a part of.

And through our intern project, we’re building real-world skills outside the classroom and have the chance to make a tangible impact for a client.
What’s one thing you’ve learned so far that you’ll take into your future career?
I’ve been learning the nuances and differences that experiential marketing requires compared to traditional marketing and partnerships. Approaching tentpole sporting events like the FIFA Club World Cup and FIFA World Cup from a new perspective, beyond just being a fan, has been a welcome challenge and valuable learning experience. Thinking creatively, strategically, and logistically, from the smallest details to the big picture, is a skill I’ll continue developing throughout my career.
