Diego morales’ Internship success By Pedro Rolon Burt Diego Morales, a Washburn Mass Media graduate, had a memorable experience while working at his internship. For his internship, Diego decided to go back to Asuncion, Paraguay—his home town. “I decided that it would be better for me to look for an internship in the place I would be working, or at least trying to find work, in the near future,” Diego added, “I contacted Garabato and they gave me the opportunity to work with them.” Garabato is a new, important advertising agency that works with important clients such as Unilever, Hotel Bourbon, Shopping Multiplaza and Yerba Indega, among others. Diego had the opportunity to work with real clients thanks to his education. When he arrived in Garabato, his supervisor assigned him one of the most renowned bars in Asuncion—Don Vincenzo. Esteban Lindgren, co-founder of Garabato, expressed his delight to have Diego as an intern. “Diego arrived in Garabato and started working immediately,” Lindgren said. “He wanted to participate, he wanted to do something meaningful, so we assigned him the Don Vincenzo account.” After months of working with the Don Vincenzo account—and other accounts—Diego received the news that the Don Vincenzo account was nominated for an award in the “Festival Tatakua” which is the major award ceremony organized by the “Círculo de Creativos del Paraguay.” “I was very, very, very happy when they told me. I remember I was getting out of a class and they were congratulating me on the group chat we had. At first I did not understand what was going on, but then they explained it to me and I was really happy,” Diego said. Don Vincenzo went to win the “Tatakua de Bronce” for packaging, which is the third place award. Diego was grateful for his education. He said that thanks to Washburn, he could accomplish things instantly during his internship time at Garabato. Diego is now planning to open an advertising agency in Asuncion and hopes to win more prizes.
