Announcing a unique, hands-on summer internship program designed for a pair of ambitious students to gain hands-on advertising strategy experience at Camp + King, one of the West Coast’s best ad agencies.

# About the Internship
Get ready for a fast ’n furious deep dive into advertising strategy. This is not a drill… you will be working on real assignments for real clients and learning in real-time as part of the Strategy Department. Our internship isn’t like other internships. We’ve designed it to be a short, intense bootcamp that is tightly orchestrated to ensure you are learning invaluable skills, while also providing value to the agency.
 
You’ll be immersed in our strategic philosophy and our most common research tools, all while working collaboratively with one to two additional interns. Every few days, you’ll learn a new tool or approach and then be asked to put the learning to work practically. You’ll also work directly with all members of the C+K Strategy team, including its Director of Strategy and its CEO. You’ll learn how to harvest consumer insights, execute social listening, identify cultural trending, define the whitespace within a competitive category, and how to write a creative brief. You will leave this internship with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the role of strategy in advertising and valuable experience in the agency world.
 
You’ll have the opportunity to put it all together in a full strategy presentation, a creative brief, and a thought leadership article published to our blog and social channels.
