We are excited to welcome one of our summer interns, Cy Gleason, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Cy is pursuing a degree in with a certificate in .

When he is not contributing to legendary marketing campaigns, Cy enjoys strolling around Madison with his headphones in, playing the guitar, and going for lake swims. He works at a Mexican bar in downtown Madison and considers himself "slightly above average" at mixing tasty margaritas. Cy is part of ALT, a student Newspaper aiming to amplify the voices of the underrepresented student populations on campus. He creates graphic designs for ALT, and the thing he enjoys most about it is using his design skills in a collaborative environment with a genuine purpose. Cy has a passion for embarking on new experiences and for meeting new people.

On his first day in the office, the team went to a local restaurant and Cy had the opportunity to try snails for the first time. It was going well before he saw the tentacles. Talk about new experiences!

His personal goal for his time in Seville is to learn as much as he can about the history and culture of the wonderful city and its people. Walking through the vibrant streets on his way into the office, Cy enjoys stopping at a coffee shop near his apartment to enjoy a cafè Americano (the only coffee he knows how to order in Spanish).

Cy is currently working on developing social media posts and researching B2B marketing strategies for the company CeeBlue. Throughout his time here he wants to gain insights into brand strategy and international marketing techniques, develop meaningful relationships with his peers and mentors, and enhance his Spanish skills. He and his fellow Badger intern Brigit have been enjoying daily Spanish tips from Krystle Linares.
