Summer 2023 HAROLD Marketing and Communications Internship

The Program

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. 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. For the MarComms role specifically, the selected candidate will be located in the greater NYC area with the ability to come into our beautiful NYC office.

The Role

The team is an upbeat group, working collaboratively across all parts of the BCW business to accomplish assignments and support one another; a great learning opportunity for someone like you!

The right candidate will have a can-do, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude, at the ready to support one of the greatest (we're biased!) global communications agencies in the world. The NA MarComms team is looking for someone who has project management skills and an interest in writing and social media, all while infusing fun and passion into the work along the way.

• Collaborating with team members on project management, including but not limited to design and creative projects
• Supporting internal and external events (i.e. town halls, awards, employee initiatives); creation of briefings documents
• Participating in social media, creative and event team planning
• Collaborating to draft communications for BCW North America executives
