Meet Karly Dillabough from Fairleigh Dickinson University, interning at Omnicom Media.
What excites you most about being part of the MADE Class of 2026?
The opportunity to connect with professionals and peers who shared a passion for the media and marketing industry. I was able to gain valuable insights into the industry, build meaningful relationships, and learn from my experienced mentor. As a Division I student-athlete and marketing student, I appreciated the chance to hear different perspectives, ask questions, and better understand potential career paths. The experience helped me grow my confidence, expand my network, and further solidify my interest in pursuing this career.
What are you most looking forward to during your internship experience?
I’ve learned the value of teamwork, communication, and hard work, and I’m excited to bring those skills into the workplace. I’m especially excited to work alongside industry professionals, gain hands-on experience in media planning, and continue exploring a field that I’m passionate about.
What drew you to a career in marketing or advertising?
The opportunity to combine creativity with problem-solving. Through my experiences I became interested in how organizations communicate with different audiences and build meaningful connections. I enjoy creating content, developing strategies, and using data and feedback to understand what resonates with people. Marketing is a field where no two days are the same, and that combination of creativity, strategy, and communication is what attracted me to it.
What inspires you as a future marketer/advertiser?
I am fascinated by the combination of creativity and strategy that goes into developing campaigns that resonate with audiences. I enjoy understanding consumer behavior and seeing how marketing can create meaningful engagement. The industry’s constant evolution also inspires me.
