Sina.com Technology

Sina is an online media communication and marketing company whose main product is a social media application – Sina Weibo. As a Case Packaging Intern, I was responsible for organising the data of successful cooperation cases between Weibo and other brands.

I seized the opportunity to bring my digital painting skills to this position. I showed my artwork pieces at the Newbie welcome session, and two of them were used. Initially, I just wanted to practise my painting skills, but I realised that I also needed to blend my skills with their marketing strategy. It was a special and precious experience for me.

In addition to the day-to-day work in marketing case group, I was always happy and willing to help our group with painting. My supervisors appreciated my drawing skills, which was another rewarding moment for me. I was lucky to be able to incorporate my imagination into my artwork assignments on various topics.
