What do Olivia Management Interns do?

A Glimpse Into My Day as an Intern

Hi! This is me, Mikayla, a current intern this summer at Olivia Management!

When people ask what a typical day at Olivia Management looks like as an intern, the honest answer is: it depends!

No two days are exactly the same. Each day brings new tasks based on the needs of our artists and the company, mixed with semester-long projects assigned to each intern based on our individual interests. This variety keeps every day interesting and has given me the opportunity to gain experience in many different areas of artist management. For example, my semester-long projects include running the social media for the official OM pages, sending a weekly industry news report to the team in the office, and doing a weekly check of Artist Growth, which is where we store all events related to our artists and any information for those events that they might need.

So, what does the actual day look like?

My dashboard on Asana

My day at Olivia Management starts at 9:00 a.m. Once I log in, I hop on Slack, say hello in the general channel, and let the team know I'm online. From there, my first stop is the Intern Tasks channel, where the day-to-day assignments are posted. These tasks are often time-sensitive, so they take priority over my semester-long projects. These tasks usually include things like drafting show reminder emails, adding shows to our wall calendar, or researching things in relation to our artists/company operations.

After checking all Slack channels and not seeing any intern-specific tasks, I head over to Asana to review my assigned projects for the day. This is where I keep track of my semester-long tasks, deadlines, and any ongoing projects I'm working on.

Around noon, I usually take a lunch break with my fellow interns, which is a fun time for us to catch up. This time, as well as the collaborative office space, has allowed us to craft meaningful friendships.

In the afternoon, if my semester tasks are completed, it’s time to go back to the Intern Tasks channel and let the team know that I am open to tasks. They will usually write something up for us to get done in our remaining time in the office for the day.

Once it hits 4 pm, I am done with my day at Oliva Management, and I message the main Slack channel that I am out for the day!

As one of my social media posts, I made a day in the life video to post to the Olivia Management reels page. It showcases the collaborative office space and the members of the incredible full-time team. You can view this video linked to the left!

This internship is a unique experience where the interns have been able to directly observe and contribute to the operations of an artist management company. While the application window for Fall of 2026 has closed, you can still apply and be considered for future semesters.

Rated, Reviewed, and Refilled: Our Favorite Office Snacks

By Braden Davis

At Olivia Management office, the workday runs on more than just calendars and coffee, it runs on snacks. Whether we’re deep in a flow state, prepping for an artist’s release, or bouncing between calls, there’s always something sweet or salty within arm’s reach to keep our energy up and ideas flowing. The office snack corner has become its own kind of ecosystem: a mix of reliables, random cravings, and the occasional wildcard that becomes everyone’s new obsession.

That love for trying new things doesn’t stop at the snack drawer. On our social channels, we’ve turned it into a recurring series where we test and rate new and peculiar treats that catch our eye at the grocery store. It’s part taste test, part team bonding, and part honest review (because not everything earns a 10/10). Now, we’re pulling back the curtain on what we actually keep stocked in the office, and the snacks that are fueling both our workdays and our content.

Our go-to snack lineup consists of the classics we know won’t let us down: Goldfish for something salty and nostalgic, Welch’s fruit snacks when we need a quick boost, Poppi sodas to keep things light and refreshing, Double Stuf Oreos for an afternoon sweet treat, and pretzels that somehow disappear faster than anything else in the room. But alongside those staples, we’re always mixing in something new for the sake of the series. Lately, that’s meant putting everything from the Hot Ones x Pringles collab (spicy, but enjoyable), to Ritz Toasted Chips (a unanimous thumbs up), dill pickle rice cakes (divisive, to say the least), and even wine-inspired gummies (surprisingly underwhelming) to the test. It’s the balance of familiar favorites and wild cards that keeps both our snack drawer and content interesting!

Olivia's Digital Tool Box: Featuring Airtable

By Jackie Minton

When trying to work in a disorganized space, I feel a bit like a fish out of water. Unsorted papers look like abandoned intentions taking up my desk and piano bench. Bring that disorganization into the kitchen and my anxiety can take root when it comes to simply looking for that matching Tupperware lid. If you’re anything like me, a clean workspace is a must. 

However, having a clean physical space isn’t the only key to peaceful and productive work these days. With working from home becoming the new normal, an organized area now includes the digital plane. Today, the Olivia team is going to share our secret weapon to making a few hours of elbow grease look like an incorporated production.
