Question 1

What kind of marketing work will I actually be doing?

Accepted Answer

It depends entirely on your placement and interests, you could be managing social media and online reputation, working within an SEO or web marketing team, contributing at an advertising agency, planning events, writing newsletters, producing marketing video content, or helping shape broader strategy and reporting.

Question 2

Will I be at a big company or a smaller organization?

Accepted Answer

Both are options, but many of our placements are at smaller companies or NGOs, which often means you're working directly under the founder or director, a level of access you don't typically get at a large corporation.

Question 3

How do you decide where to place me?

Accepted Answer

During the application process, we ask for a detailed outline of your specific interests within marketing, since it's such a broad field, and match you with the organization best suited to give you real, relevant experience.

Question 4

What makes it different from what I've learned at home?

Accepted Answer

You'll be exposed to marketing strategies and approaches shaped specifically by the South African market, giving you a genuinely different perspective than what's taught in a typical Western marketing curriculum.

Question 5

What kind of skills will I walk away with?

Accepted Answer

Beyond specific marketing tactics, past interns highlight learning how to manage multiple projects at once, work directly with leadership, and understand marketing from a business and client-facing perspective, not just a creative one.
