The Internship Positions Available:
Digital Content Writer/Creator Intern
Do you live and breathe for creating content and sending it out to the world? Do you often get props from your peers on your social media captions? Are you interested in turning your skills in writing and passion for Snapchatting into a career? If you answered yes to all the above, then you may just be our person!
SPM is looking for a crackerjack content creator and curator to help bridge our digital and creative teams. In this role, you will work closely with art directors, digital strategists and digital project managers to concept and write digital content for websites, blogs, social media and display for some of the most prestigious names in healthcare. We are looking for a content writer who strives to stay ahead of digital trends and has the ability to adapt their writing style to adhere to the tone and voice of multiple brands. This position will be an important part of our team and is a great way to kickstart a career in content strategy. Please include any writing samples, either professional or personal, along with your resume.
Account Management Intern
This is a go-getter position, not a go-get-coffee one. You must be interested in advertising as a career, a multitasker, a team player, good with details and calm under pressure. You’ll be working directly with our creative teams (so you have to be fun) and our hospital clients (so you have to be nice). Not only is this a great way to learn the ins and outs of an ad agency, many of our past account interns now collect an SPM paycheck full-time.
SPM is a full-service marketing agency and our media team plays a huge role. In this ever-evolving world of media, we’re always on the lookout for talented future planners to help make a big impact on our work. Experience via a previous internship and/or coursework in media planning (including digital media) is a huge plus. Attention to detail, on-point communications and organizational skills and positive energy are strong requirements for this hands-on internship!
