Advertising (Communication/Media) Internships

My co-interns are the sweetest! This competitive field is filled with not just witty, but kindest persons! I wanna say hello to Gilda, Marielle, and Patrick – my co-interns, who are so funny and lovable. We bonded a lot during our beach trips. They even sent me flowers last week because it’s my birthday. Thank you very much to IGS for this life-long friendship!

In the second track of the advertising program, we are placed in a particular field of interest. I signed up for social services, and I was deployed to a social service organization’s advertising and marketing department. It was ideal for me because I get to do what I like to do, and also gain enough advertising skills. I am grateful to my mentor, Mr. Johnson, for the guidance. It was an honor to be under your tutelage. You explain so calmly and effectively, and helped us develop relevant skills, helping us prepare for a job and career in this field.

our sponsors in the advertising agency are actually big businesses wishing to promote their products and services,, what I learned and what they consistently reminded us is “You have to trust your brand, for you to effectively market it.” i assisted in making a total of five ads, for this short stint, and these are amazing additions to my portfolio. i am sure if my employers would see my resume, my internship in IGS would play a big role in my signing of employment contract.

I did a lot of advertising internships already, because I wanted to construct a strong profile. And I could say that this probably is the best internship I’ve had. The accommodation, mentors, and supplemental seminars are very well thought-of. It feels like we are on a vacation, when in fact, our primary purpose here is to learn! Next year, I plan to do an internship in IGS again. But I think of Paris for my second time.

Admittedly, it was a fast-paced environment. Well, no doubt, because the team is composed of high-profile and competitive individuals. I chose Track One, where I was assigned to a traditional advertising firm. They taught us the brainstorming processes and professional strategies of advertising itself. We are taught of the principles of visual consistency, campaign duration, and repeated taglines. I knew I will encounter them again once I start college as an Advertising major. It was an advance lesson for me. Thank you, IGS.

Hi Guys! I’m Natasha from New York. I am on my Gap Year with Interim Programs and they introduced me to Dr. David Adams and the Institute for Global Studies. I just spent a month interning for IGS in Sydney. It fell into place perfectly as I always dreamed of living in Sydney and IGS had a research position for their Intern Down Under program. worked directly with David to set up a really cool places to see list for future Intern Down Under participants like yourself. My background is in advertising and design and interning with IGS allowed me to apply my skills while fulfilling my Australia dream. I learned some amazing history during my research. And, the best part was getting out to see the sites! Inspired by what I saw, I organized my impressions to help you get an idea of all that you can explore while here. Sydney is a place unlike any other: full of unique suburbs, quirky city blocks, and truly diverse natural environments! One day I started my research surrounded by skyscrapers and ten minutes later I was on a white sand beach! My Sydney experience with IGS was wonderful and Intern Down Under is going to be a blast!
