TESTIMONIALS
My time at Blue Vista 725 has helped me grow tremendously by giving me 360-degree experience in the media, advertising, promotions industries. Rather than focusing on one account or one specialty, at Blue Vista I am fully engaged in all aspects of the business and managed critical responsibilities of an entire media/advertising agency. From acquiring business to drafting contracts to planning and fulfilling media schedules, the work experience developed here was unlike any other and will benefit me for the rest of my career. The office environment Matt and Jeff create and uphold is friendly, professional, fast-paced and full of action. I am forever grateful for having been able to learn while working under Matt and Jeff here at Blue Vista 725.
-Alex Lanza, Former Intern turned into a Former Account Coordinator

My summer internship at Blue Vista 725 was an experience that I will never forget and one that I could not be more grateful for.
Creating advertising and marketing campaigns for companies like Live Nation, Madison Square Garden and various Broadway shows is somethingno other twenty-year-old marketing student could say they have done. Most importantly, I was doing real world marketing business with a great team who supported and helped me learn so much day-in and day-out!
-Chris Altomare (Intern)

I couldn't be happier to have been blessed with the opportunity to intern with Blue Vista 725. Matt and Jeff provide a warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere in the office which can only exist among people who are truly professional. The internship has also given me valuable work experience from enlisting new vendors to obtain large scale digital and static billboards in Times Square to creating 360-degree marketing campaigns for a variety of shows; the possibilities are endless. And above all, I was trusted as a valuable member of the team. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to intern at Blue Vista 725.
