The name of my internship place is Solosound. Mark Huinder is the owner of Solosound and Furni Furnction. Furni Function is the company of furniture where he is furniture maker. Solosound is a company about Elektrostatic speakers. These speakers are different from other ones and are self-handcrafted and played by Lyngdorf amplifiers.
These company's are both located at the same location (1e Industriestraat, Bussum). One side of the building is a listening room and office space. The other side is the workshop where furniture is made and speakers are made. Both are sized by Mark Huinder and his wife, though also by the help of internship youngsters.
The Job description of my internship is mainly do market research on speakers and everything that is linked to this. Also communication and networking (online) is very important in the job. Furthermore co-operation in paperwork, contacting people and setting up systems are also work pursuits. My responsibility lies in the communication (networking digitally) and the marketing subjects (e.g. market potential, marketing research on other countries and target market, market mix, networking) and help in order to get work fixed.
Furthermore the most important part of by responsibility is thinking along. Most of this work is done on computer, though helping with business related subject e.g. setting up system or helping with the fair are other parts that are done by hand.
