BMF Internship Program
Our internship program is designed to give students a distinct learning experience different from the exposure acquired at schools or have had in previous internships. Through day-to-day mentorship, hands-on experience and access to category experts across the agency, our goal is for interns to be able to discover the ins and outs of all aspects of integrated marketing.
We ask interns to bring a professional attitude as well as the experience they have already collected. To us this means interns have and share ideas, are engaged in assignments, listen, ask questions, follow directions, show up on time, and in general give it their all. In return, it means BMF gives interns time, feedback, insight, help, and a push in the right direction when needed. Bottom line – we are in this together, so we all learn and have a rewarding and fun experience.
Our internship program offers a robust learning initiative available via remote meetings. Plans include:
● A Lunch & Learn program taught by professionals and specialists in their field. No matter what department you intern in, these bi-monthly sessions will help give you a better understanding of the company’s various departments, how each department fits in the business mix, and a general overview of key learnings.
