Summer 2023 HAROLD Internship (Hybrid Work Structure Across North America)

The Role

The HAROLD Internship Program is one of the most advanced trainings of its kind for early-career professionals looking to push their critical thinking and know-how to the limit during an exhilarating 10-week experience. During this paid internship, interns work alongside top professionals in the field, participating in everything from strategy discussions to creative sessions aimed at capturing national news, shaping public opinion and sparking community engagement.

The HAROLD Internship Program culminates in 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 that often leads to employment opportunities at BCW after the program concludes. So are you ready for the HAROLD Internship Program?

The program will run from June 5-August 11, 2023 and you will be tied to one of our 10 offices across North America. The health and well-being of our employees, including you as our future intern, are our top priorities. All of 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 the office hybrid policy.

Please note, there will be separate applications for the following teams: New Business and Growth, Marketing and Communications, Diversity and Inclusion and Creative. If you are interested in multiple teams, please feel free to apply for as many as you'd like. They are all still a part of the broader HAROLD Summer Internship Program, you will just have a different focus area.
