BCW Summer 2024 HBSI (Creative, USA Hybrid)

The Harold Burson Summer Internship (HBSI) Program gives early-career professionals an opportunity to explore the world of communications at a top-tier global communications agency during an exhilarating 10-week experience. During this paid internship, interns work alongside top professionals in the field, participating in everything from strategy and planning discussions to creative brainstorm aimed at capturing national news, shaping public opinion and sparking community engagement.

The HBSI culminates a real-world challenge where interns research, design and present a campaign for a current BCW client to the agency's senior management, receiving feedback, tips and insights that would ordinarily take years to obtain. The summer internship program offers an invaluable career-development experience. So are you ready to be a Harold Burson summer intern?

The program runs from June 3- August 9, 2024, and you will be tied to one of our offices across North America. The health and well-being of our employees, including you as our future intern, are our top priorities. All our offices are open, and we plan to welcome you to them as many days a week as you'd like, but BCW North America is currently following an 8 day/month in office hybrid policy.

BCW's Creative team brings integrated campaigns to life through both an earned and paid mindset. Examples of this work can be seen here- https://www.bcw-global.com/locations/north-america/creative-careers-at-bcw-north-america

The Creative team partners across an immense and varied base of clients, from startups to Fortune 500 brands. You will work with a diverse team of account service, research, planning, design digital and creative professionals that are always pushing for meaningful and well-crafted work that creates impact.
