Anna Kloth and the Paradise Interns Story

Founder, Intern Mentor, Snort While She Laughs-Er
Anna Kloth is the Founder and Executive Director of Paradise Interns, an educational program that matches capable interns with companies who are looking to step towards the digital age.
Anna has been involved in the diving industry for 6 years and marketing for 8 years. In 2012, she moved to Indonesia as a bright-eyedĀ Master Scuba Diver Trainer where she was first employed by Blue Marlin Dive Komodo. Within 6 months, her position had been modified so that she could handle social media marketing, produce a new website and complete light graphic design for the dive shop. In 2015, Anna began her role as the Director of Business Development for the Blue Marlin Dive corporation.Ā
In her tenure at Blue Marlin Dive, Anna was responsible for anything and everything that could be considered marketing or business development. Duties included, but were not limited to, marketing strategy, rebranding to create a singular vision and tone across all locations, social media management, website design, graphic design, copywriting, photo editing, TripAdvisor monitoring, facilitating a move to G-Suite, travel agent packages and outreach, the creation of a CRM, content creation, monthly newsletters, monthly blogs, accounting, organisation of trade shows, influencer campaigns, vendor communication, setting up OTAās, a liveaboard on-boarding system and more. Juggle much?
In 2016, after feeling a bit like a multitasking octopus, Anna took on two French marketing students to spread out some of the tasks and help give them the real world experience their school dictated. A million laughs and two close friends later, Anna realised that teaching others was the new new. She would choose her own interns, train them and set them up at each shop. The need for dive shops AND prospective interns had presented itself and thus, Paradise Interns was born.
2 years and 80 interns later, Paradise Interns prides itself on helping others make the move to a new country, introducing interns to the skyrocketing industry of digital marketing, establishing connections within the diving industry and making lasting connections with current and previous interns.
