My internship at Intermark proved to be an exceptional opportunity that encouraged me to push my boundaries. During the summer, I gained valuable insights into the significance of pursuing excellence in creative and collaborative efforts. This experience not only deepened my understanding of agency dynamics but also contributed to my personal development as I prepare to enter the advertising and marketing fields. I look forward to leveraging the knowledge and skills I acquired at Intermark in my future career, and I appreciate the expertise this experience has given me.

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.

This summer at Intermark has allowed me to see my concepts come to life and I was able to work with an amazing team that’s as passionate about creating great advertising as I am. Everything here has given me real life experiences and allowed me to see the world of creative advertising firsthand. I learned so much this summer!

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.

During my internship with Intermark, I sharpened my skills in crafting compelling narratives, collaborating with creative teams, and understanding the power of words in driving engagement and conversions. Intermark fostered an inspiring and supportive environment, providing invaluable mentorship and opportunities for growth that significantly enhanced my professional development.

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.

Media

During my time at Intermark, I had new opportunities to grow in my career and develop new skills alongside professionals. One of my favorite parts was working with the 5 other interns. Together, we developed friendships, learned from each other, and built collaborative working relationships to define marketing strategies for Intermark customers.

Social Media/Communication
