Our team — composed of creatives, strategists and analysts — is focused on developing impactful ideas for clients spanning media, technology, and culture. 

We’re looking for the next generation of multi-hyphenate talent to act as a mini agency within our agency, applying their insights and media savvy to fuel a proactive idea engine for our clients.

In this full-time program, interns will be identifying – and ideating around – compelling human insights, news moments, and cultural trends.

You’ll meet with other interns and a crew of in-house analysts, strategists and creatives multiple times every week to build out ideas that will eventually be pitched to clients.

What’s in it for you?

Beyond the opportunity to flex your left and right brain muscles, strengthen your network, you’ll contribute to Weber Shandwick’s group creds and culture.
