As a student of Product and Visual Design, I had the opportunity to complete my two-month curricular internship at Promedia Comunicación in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. It has been a deeply enriching and meaningful experience, both professionally and personally.

From day one, I felt welcomed into a family-like environment, surrounded by kind and approachable people who were always ready to help. I arrived with little work experience and without knowing exactly how a communication agency operated. However, thanks to this internship, I was able to observe the rhythm and dynamics of real projects firsthand: how different professional roles collaborate, and how marketing and graphic design merge to create a cohesive and unified vision. The weekly meetings taught me the importance of dialogue, organization, and teamwork in achieving goals and satisfying clients.
Working on projects related to the Canary Islands was particularly interesting. I discovered small local businesses—many linked to tourism or traditional products—that use communication to make themselves known and strengthen their identity. I was impressed by Promedia’s commitment to giving a voice to these local realities, showcasing the islands not just as a tourist destination, but as a place full of life, culture, and authenticity.
I learned so much thanks to the variety of projects—ranging from editorial publications to social media management, web development, and video production and editing—and, above all, thanks to the people who accompanied me on this journey.
Furthermore, this work experience has been even more special and unique because it took place in Gran Canaria, a place I will always carry in my heart: for its wonderful climate, its breathtaking landscapes and beaches, and especially for its people, who make you feel right at home.
