Marketing, Advertising, & PR Internships in United States

Some experiences stay with you long after they come to an end, and my time in Bali was definitely one of them. I had the opportunity to spend five weeks in Bali, completing my internship at Made Tea in Ubud, and honestly, it turned out to be so much more than I expected. From the beginning, I felt welcomed and appreciated. Working with Made Tea gave me the opportunity to discover a different professional environment, develop my communication and digital marketing skills, work on creative projects, and gain valuable hands-on experience. I had the chance to create content, work on social media, communicate with potential business partners and contribute to real projects. It was rewarding to see that my ideas and work were genuinely valued. One of the highlights was definitely the people. I am especially grateful to my supervisor, Roni, for her kindness, trust, guidance and patience throughout my internship. Being surrounded by such welcoming people made the experience even more special. And then there was Bali itself! 🌺 Living and working in Ubud allowed me to discover a completely different culture, meet people from different backgrounds, experience the local lifestyle and create memories I will always cherish. Every day brought something new, whether it was discovering beautiful places, trying new food, learning about local traditions or simply enjoying the atmosphere. What I appreciated most was the balance between professional development and personal discovery. I didn’t just gain experience to add to my CV; I also became more independent, confident, adaptable and open-minded. If you are considering an internship abroad, I would genuinely encourage you to take the opportunity. Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. You might arrive expecting to gain professional experience, but leave with new skills, wonderful connections and memories that will stay with you forever. Thank you, Made Tea, and Bali, for five unforgettable weeks. A little piece of my heart will always remain in Indonesia. ❤️ Sometimes the best experiences are the ones you never fully expect.

I had an amazing time at my 2 month internship in New York this summer. Marc was really good with organising accommodation and keeping me updated before I came. I was picked up from the airport and had welcome meal, and meals throughout where I got to meet other interns. The internship itself was an incredible experience. I was placed at an immigration law firm in Wall Street, where I was able to gain hands-on experience working on O-1B visa petitions. I was taking on paralegal work including writing reference letters and cover letters. This gave me the opportunity to develop my legal writing skills that I can take forward into my aspiring career as a solicitor. Living and working in New York for the summer was an experience I will never forget. I met so many people, both through the agency and my internship itself, some of whom we've kept in contact, explore the city, and gained a level of independence that I wouldn't have been able to get anywhere else. Overall, I am really grateful for the opportunity and for the support I received throughout the process. It was an experience that pushed me out of my comfort zone, helped me grow both personally and professionally, and gave me memories I will have for a very long time. Thank you Marc for being so accommodating!

As an economics student, I am deeply interested in understanding how rigorous modelling coupled with data-driven analysis can be used to effectuate economic and social change through guiding real-world decision-making. Over the last few years, I have increasingly recognised that unlocking the potential value that this discipline could bring hinges on whether one can discern which models and tools would be appropriate for the given context. To develop my capacity for making substantive judgements, I sought out The Intern Group to match me with a suitable organisation that would enable me to apply the skills and knowledge I've learnt from my time at university. The experience itself was highly challenging and intellectually stimulating; it forced me to think critically about what would constitute a useful deliverable for my partner organisation, in addition to how it should be presented to communicate my findings accessibly. In contrast to university coursework, which is generally evaluated in accordance with a well-defined set of criteria, I was granted the liberty to be creative in how I approached this project. Consequently, I had the chance to engage in divergent thinking and figure out for myself which ideas were feasible and worth developing. Although this strategy requires spending considerable time and energy before making any visible progress, it allowed me to identify the constraints imposed by the available data, understand the incentives faced by different stakeholders and consider what information decision-makers need to act effectively. Learning how to draw upon this framework in order to credibly and reliably inform decision-making within the global agricultural commodity trading market has inspired me to pursue further study and gain new experiences so that I may broaden my exposure while deepening and consolidating my skills and knowledge. I believe that this experience, supplemented by the developmental opportunities and resources offered by The Intern Group, has helped me to clarify my career path, reaffirm my understanding of how the discipline can yield practical insights and realise my own potential in contributing to real-world change.

Beyond Academy were absolutely brilliant from start to finish, every step is well thought out with sufficient support throughout not only from the programme leaders in the city taking us to events, shows, dinners, and hotspots, but also from those behind the scenes making the internship happen in the first place!

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Isabelle! We’re thrilled to hear that you felt supported throughout your time in New York and had such a positive experience with your host company, accommodation, and the wider program. It was wonderful having you with us, and we can’t wait to see where this experience takes you next!

I had an lovely and efficient experience with the intern group, no matter who I interacted with they were kind and helpful, the whole experience was very rewarding and they are always available for any questions along the way! I was really unsure on how it would all go, but I was very impressed and I have nothing but positive things to say. From the start they made the process of finding an internship that would suit my needs so easy and every step of the way they are encouraging you. I absolutely loved my time with them and have zero regrets. I got matched with a company very quickly and I absolutely adored my experience and time with the company I got to work for. Even though it was remote I was still made to feel like I was part of the process and I throughly enjoyed experiencing being part of real work for real people. Even if you are a university student looking to gain experience one summer or a recent graduate there is no doubt in my mind you will gain something valuable from doing an internship with a company that aligns with your career goals.

My experience in Thailand has been so fun! I got to see a lot of the major temples and sites that are a must visit. I made many friends with the other interns here. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. They helped me with any questions I had or anything in general. Overall my experience was amazing, 10/10 would recommend to anyone on the fence about it! I would even come back if I could!

What an amazing internship experience! It was an unforgettable month that pushed me out of my comfort zone, gave me experiences I’d never have at home, and allowed me to learn about conservation while meeting some amazing people. I learned a great deal and the entire experience definitely exceeded my expectations! I really enjoyed game drives. It was a good way to explore the reserve, learn lots about the environment and wildlife, get to know other participants and no drive was ever the same. Seeing all the animals, sunrise and sunsets on drives and getting to know new people made the experience truly unforgettable.

The time spent doing my GIS internship at the Gondwana Game Reserve exceeded my expectations in both the knowledge I received and the amazing views I was fortunate enough to see. I learned a great deal, saw a lot of amazing animals and it was extremely rewarding to learn so much about GIS and wildlife.

Overall, I had a great experience. ABI was super on top of everything throughout the whole process - from the modules, to recruitment, through my actual internship; everyone was very communicative and responsive, which I appreciated. I got my first-choice internship type and location, working as a design intern at a boutique creative marketing agency in NYC. I enjoyed getting a look behind the curtain at all the different aspects of agency life. From a design standpoint, I learned a lot about the intersection between client management and conceptual creative thinking, but I also got to learn a bit about the account management and production side of the agency world too. Overall, the experience gave me a much stronger understanding of agency workflow and the competencies needed to excel in similar settings in the future.

After doing a six-month internship earned through ArtBound, I feel more prepared for the type of work in my industry. Before my start date, I did the ABI Academy, which helped build my interview skills, improve my resume, and helped me understand how the choices I made for my portfolio could affect the quality of opportunities I am offered. During the duration of my internship, I was in constant contact with the program coordinators, who were able to guide me during a period of time when I was having communication issues with my boss at Asia Contemporary Art Forum. My role was web/media designer and curatorial fellow; however, I wore many hats while doing my internship. I feel that I was able to truly learn how to work in a small team, how to take charge and make decisions, and improve my institutional style writing. Though I didn't get to participate in most of the intern gatherings during my internship program, I like that I will always have a community to engage with thanks to ArtBound, now that I am an ABI Alumni.

My internship experience in New York was an incredible opportunity to grow both professionally and personally. As part of the orientation process, I attended dinners and networking events with Marc and other interns, which gave me the opportunity to build relationships, learn about different backgrounds and experiences, and become more comfortable in a new professional environment. These dinners were especially valuable because they created a more informal setting where I could ask questions, connect with colleagues, and learn more about the organization and the opportunities available in New York. Moving to New York for the internship also pushed me outside of my comfort zone and helped me become more independent, adaptable, and confident. Overall, the experience taught me the importance of building genuine professional relationships and making the most of opportunities to connect with people early in a new organization.

I had the most amazing experience in New York this summer, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity. From start to finish, Marc was so supportive and made the whole experience feel seamless. From the moment I arrived, everything was taken care of. I was picked up from the airport, taken to my accommodation, and welcomed into a really friendly group of interns. I was even treated to dinner with the other interns, which was such a lovely way to meet people, settle in, and make the experience even more enjoyable. I gained invaluable insight into the world of finance and what day to day life in the industry is really like. The internship pushed me outside of my comfort zone and helped me grow both personally and professionally, particularly in confidence, independence, and communication. Beyond the professional experience, I had the opportunity to meet some incredible people, build meaningful connections, and create memories that I’ll always look back on. I’m so grateful for how accommodating, welcoming, and supportive Marc was throughout the entire experience. It’s certainly an experience I will never forget, and one I’m incredibly thankful to have had.

The Marketing & Communications internship in Sydney gave me the real life experience which I can tie closely to my studies, and this has helped me understand different topics more easily. The internship also gave me the practical experience I needed to help boost my CV (resume) for my later career, and better prepare me for my future. I enjoyed meeting many people from different cultures a lot. My host family accommodation was amazing; I couldn’t have asked for better.

I got to meet so many amazing people while getting to explore a new city, all while building my resume at an amazing internship company that will leave a lasting impact on me. The community coordinators are the nicest people ever and make sure that you feel like you belong in the city, no matter where you are from :)

Thank you so much for the amazing review, Aadi! We’re so happy to hear that you had such a memorable summer and were able to balance gaining meaningful professional experience with making the most of life in New York City. It’s especially great to hear that your internship gave you the opportunity to do real, valuable work that you can take forward into your future career. And of course, we love hearing that you made friendships that will stay with you long after the program and had such a great experience with our Community Team! We absolutely loved having you as part of our NYC community and hope the friendships, memories and experience from your summer stay with you for many years to come!

Honestly, the program was amazing from day one. Marc was super accommodating and made moving to NYC so much easier than I expected. He helped me lock down solid housing, literally picked me up from the airport when I landed, and even hosted dinners for all the interns as we arrived so we could actually meet each other and network. He also checked in on me throughout the summer just to see how I was adjusting to the city. Thanks to the placement, I got an analyst role at a New York cross-border advisory firm where I worked on high-level frameworks and deal criteria. The internship itself was an incredible resume builder, but Marc’s personal support on the ground is what really made the summer. Definitely recommend them if you're trying to break into the city.

Overall, the preparation process went smoothly, and everything was well organized. I am satisfied with the overall service and support. The Stage-Global team was very supportive at every step and provided clear instructions and guidance throughout the process.

Ksenia provided excellent support at every stage of the process, responding promptly and kindly to all of my questions so that we could achieve our goal. Thank you very much, everything has been great.

Stage-Global definitely took away the stress of having to figure out everything regarding the visa. That helped me a lot and gave me more time to focus on other things when planning to go to the United States.

Stage-Global made the entire visa process much easier, which allowed me to focus on preparing for the move instead of worrying about paperwork. If you are considering a J-1 program, I'd say go for it.

My experience with Stage-Global has been very positive. The organization, communication, and support provided by the team have been very helpful since the beginning of my program. I would especially like to thank Ksenia for her kindness, professionalism, and continuous support. She has always been available to answer my questions and assist me whenever needed. Overall, I am very satisfied with the services provided by Stage-Global, and I truly appreciate this valuable opportunity
