POV: you’re a Shopee Intern during 11.11 🧡

Interning at a major e-commerce event like Shopee's 11.11 sale is an unforgettable experience that goes beyond what meets the eye. Beyond the hustle and bustle of managing event logistics, what really stands out is the vibrant atmosphere and the unique opportunity to network with some of Singapore’s top content creators and influencers. One of the highlights was the dress code—floral chic with a touch of orange—which added a lively and cohesive spirit to the event. It felt like everyone was part of a big team, united by excitement and enthusiasm. Although the team joked about not getting drunk, the energy and camaraderie were definitely on another level, leading to a fun but tiring day. The freebies from the brand booths were a pleasant bonus. These giveaways were not just promotional tokens but meaningful gestures that helped build relationships between Shopee, its affiliates, and creators. Handling these interactions as an intern gave me insight into the power of influencer marketing and affiliate programs within a giant sales day like 11.11. Moreover, working closely with the event organizers offered valuable exposure to the behind-the-scenes planning and coordination required to make such a large-scale event smooth and successful. It’s clear that the affiliate connect event wasn’t just about shopping but about community building and showcasing brands in a fresh, engaging manner. Overall, the intern experience during the Shopee 11.11 event was a blend of fast-paced teamwork, creative expression, and meaningful connections. For anyone interested in e-commerce, marketing, or event planning, being part of this event offers hands-on learning and a real taste of the excitement that comes with major online shopping festivals.
