Internship Goals – Numero Group
So far at my internship I’ve completed a wide variety of tasks ranging from recording and editing a podcast, illustrating a t-shirt design, calling the senior purchaser for every major art and historical museum in the country, to breaking down boxes. The podcast project is an extensive and on going project, completing 10 podcasts before the end of my semester is my main goal at Numero Group. I am also already invested in a two other on going projects. The first is meticulously searching for every track released by Numero on Youtube and emailing copy write infringement complaints to Youtube if any of these tracks are hosted. I’m also compiling a database of all words relevant to Numero releases and plugging them into the website so a search function will be available. As it stands there is no search bar on the website and it is fairly difficult to find a record unless you know the exact title of the release. For example if you know one artist on Eccentric Soul : The Capsoul Label, but don’t know this title it’s impossible to find without looking through every release. This data bass will also greatly increase the links displayed from a Google search, which will inevitably draw more traffic to the Numero website.

Reflecting back on my initial goals for my internship at the Numero Group I’ve realized that my tasks did shift to a few unexpected places, but mainly remained the same.
· I completed 5 podcasts, hoping for 10 was a bit over ambitious, however I’m still very happy with the amount of podcasts I finished, but moreover the I’m proud of the quality of each show.
· I assisted with the ridiculous amount of orders that came through for the Syl Johnson box set release. This box set was their much anticipated release of the year, which meant at times I unboxed and re-boxed like mad.
· I scanned and edited many archival photographs, vinyl jackets, and records that were being used for research into upcoming releases.
· Tape transfers, converting tape audio to digital files.
