We’re looking for the next class of Firehouse interns. That you?
Our 10-week, paid internship program starts June 2nd and, this year, we’re looking for three fresh faces to serve as Copywriting, Graphic Design/Art Direction & Account Management interns.
Here’s how it works: Tell us why you would be the best summer intern in either FIVE SLIDES OR FIVE MINUTES. What do we mean by that? Well, that’s up for creative interpretation. The only guidelines are you have to make your case within five presentation slides or five minutes of audio/video (and, you know, be tasteful).
Examples of what you could include might be:
- What makes you, you
- Why you have a passion for advertising
- Some of your best work
- Point of view on something timely happening in the ad world
- Relevant experiences you’ve had in the past
In order to be considered for this summer’s internship program, you must complete this request.
