Summer has arrived, which means it’s time to welcome Intermark Group’s 2017 summer interns! These seven individuals will be immersed in agency life and gain invaluable experience in the field of advertising. They will be able to use their unique perspectives to create content, help develop ideas and assist with pitching to clients. Not only will the interns complete work for their designated departments, but they will also collaboratively create and present a pitch to a real-life client at the end of the summer.
We’re excited to see what the summer brings for these talented new graduates and students. Learn more about each of them below!
