Last years interns.

Positions

Account Services

Assists with the day-to-day interaction and communication with our clients. Works with various departments, including, but not limited to, public relations, strategy and media, to ensure all aspects of our clients’ work is completed and executed with a focus on print, radio and broadcast.

My time as an intern at Intermark allowed me to step out of my comfort zone. Over the summer I learned the importance of truly listening to your consumer and putting your best foot forward when it comes to creative and group work. Intermark gave me the opportunity to grow as an individual looking to break into the advertising and public relations industry. I learned so much not only about agency life but also about myself. I am so excited to apply what I have learned here into my future endeavors as a professional, and Intermark has given me the confidence to do so.

Art Direction/Design

Teams up with the copywriter to concept and execute big, brilliant ideas on time and on brief. A love of art and an eye for design are both necessary, but this person needs to be a great thinker who picks apart briefs. And once a concept is approved you’ll bring it to life. Your mom will want to put your work on the fridge, even if she doesn’t understand it.

My internship at Intermark Group was a great opportunity for me to learn and grow within the industry. I was able to develop my skills as well as learn new ones with the projects I got to help out with. The people were amazing and helpful and I'm so thankful for the opportunity!

Copywriting

Teams up with the art director to concept and execute big, brilliant ideas on time and on brief. You’ll need to love the written word, because after a concept is approved, you’ll be writing, writing, writing across print, radio/ television, online and other cool stuff. And if you make your mentor jealous, you’ve done it right.

The summer internship with Intermark was a great experience, providing me with the opportunity to work on real client projects. I walked away from this internship with a greater understanding and knowledge of how the agency world works.

Digital Account Service

Reviews, analyzes, documents and evaluates business systems, workflows, procedures and data structures. Assists with day-to-day interaction and communication by working with various departments, including, but not limited to, engineering, digital strategy, analytics and user experience, to ensure all aspects of clients’ work is completed and executed with a focus on mobile applications, website development and other digital assets.

I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the internship opportunity at Intermark/Alloy. Throughout the summer, I was able to network and connect with many amazing people. I was able to learn a lot of valuable experience pertaining to marketing and digital marketing. I have learned information that will be extremely valuable to my career. Thank you, Intermark and Alloy, for a great summer!

Media

Works with the Media Department to assist in buying local advertising for TV, radio, outdoors and digital. Works on a team to create a full media plan for a client, as well as use research tools to better understand the audience’s media consumption habits and create strategic plans to reach them.

My internship experience at Intermark Group this past summer was more than I could have ever asked for. From working alongside some of the most inspiring, talented individuals doing real work, to learning skills from Intermark's best about the industry as a whole, I experienced and learned so much more than a classroom could ever teach me. As the media intern, I had the opportunity to get hands-on experience with vendors and their systems, tracking advertising spend for multiple clients, research through secondary data, and becoming further educated on current trends in media consumption. Intermark Group encourages collaborating with other departments, further preparing and educating you for your future career. Interning with Intermark has by far given me a competitive advantage coming out of college, and for that I am forever grateful.

Social Media

Learns how to use social media platforms to speak to different audiences based on brand strategy and brand voice. Writes content and creates social media graphics that generate brand engagement. Assists in generating ideas for strategy, campaigns and contests. Learns social media planning and how to monitor reputation management to build brand awareness and reputability.

Through my internship with Intermark, I was able to get hands-on experience with different clients and media platforms. I worked with a team on a project for a real client and saw how each department is vitally important for overall success. Having this opportunity to be challenged within an agency it’s something that I will take with me in any future career endeavors. I am thankful for my time at Intermark and the friends I have made here!
