Overview of the copywriting internship:     

• Skills: College-level writing experience with interest in advertising/marketing; preference given to candidates with experience writing in these fields. Portfolio and/or spec ads required. Poetry, essays, fiction, and news clips are acceptable, but spec work is a great way to let your creativity shine. If you don’t know what “spec work” is, look it up and build some now! Please share portfolio link/attachment to be considered for the role
• Knowledge: Be current on trends in digital communications, social media, traditional media outlets, films, TV, business, and politics, and know what the culture is talking about
• Curiosity: We’re a fast-paced agency, and will talk over your head (choose when to Google and when to ask), but your will to find answers knows no bounds
• Coachability: Know when to take a note and when to defend your copy, but always know that nothing you write is final 

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who has specific interest in a copywriting role. They are a talented writer, and don’t shy away from the vulnerability of the creative process.
