We have evolved from the Brochure Revolution, where if consumers wanted more information on a product and/or a service, they had to get in their cars and physically go to the retailer or dealer for more information. In the late 1990’s, we evolved to the Desktop Revolution, where consumers were able to getting information from retailers from the comfort of their homes and were eventually able to purchase items right from the web as Internet speeds increased.

Today, we are experiencing the Mobile Revolution, wherein consumers expect a mobile web experience that renders on their handset. To that point, consumers are and will continue to be frustrated by retailers who do not offer a correctly rendered mobile experience. The key is to offer your customers an integrated solution that includes mobile web (mWeb), SMS, and in some instances a native mobile application. If consumers are becoming more mobile, they need to be able to reach you at a moment’s notice and you need to be able to reach them instantly to drive traffic (to either your storefront or your mobile website).

This is the final installment of the series of weekly blog posts written by Jenny Walsh, intern and office mate of John Duffy, 3Cinteractive’s Founder and CEO. The series took a look at the inner workings of 3Ci and mobile marketing from a fresh perspective.

This has been an amazing several weeks for me, and I think the goal for the summer has been achieved. Duff wanted to show me how a business is run, and he did a great job. I can’t thank him and everyone at 3Ci enough for exposing me to all different part of this company. I was able to sit in on budget planning and marketing strategy sessions, sales pitches, private equity meetings, and even job interviews. I learned something new and valuable every day, and met some pretty awesome people along the way.

A huge part of what I have learned is importance of working as a team. No decision is ever made hastily and is always talked through by a group of people. Before this summer I didn’t understand the value of having a mentor, someone who has already experienced what you are going through. Even though Duff is the boss, he still asks people for advice and always brings friends of 3Ci in to bounce ideas off and get various opinions. It showed me that even if you are successful there is always something more to learn. This business is run through the collaboration of many talented people who put the interest of 3Ci before there own, and they have a blast doing it.

Duff worked so hard to make this internship worth while, and he told me he was determined to make this summer a success. It definitely was in my book, I just hope he didn’t get too tired of me being his “shadow”. I was so nervous that I would just hide in Duff’s office all summer, and not really get to know anyone else. I could not have been more wrong. Everyone at 3Ci made a great effort to help me understand and get me involved in what they do here. Making this summer a success was definitely a team effort in true 3Ci style. I have learned so much here and gain so much real life experience that I know will put me ahead as I start college. I am sad that my internship at 3Ci has come to an end, but I am so excited to head off on my new adventure at Notre Dame, so South Bend here I come!
