Creating a Successful Internship Program

When we set out to build the POWER Marketing Internship Program, we didn’t want it to be another checkbox on a student’s resume. We wanted to offer something that would give real-world, hands-on experience across all areas of digital marketing while helping young professionals identify their strengths, build confidence, and sharpen their skills.

Hands-On Experience Matters

The truth is, marketing isn’t something you can learn solely in a lecture hall. Textbooks don’t teach real client dynamics, how to pivot mid-campaign, or what it’s like to work on a fast-moving creative team.

That’s why we designed our internship program around real-world execution. Interns at POWER do more than just shadow or get coffee, they contribute. They’re in meetings, building content, conducting market research, managing deliverables, and more.

The Value for Interns:

Gain meaningful experience across multiple service lines.
Work with actual client accounts.
Build a portfolio of real work that drives measurable results.

The Value for the Agency:

Fresh perspectives and creative input from up-and-coming marketers.
A reliable pipeline for future hiring.
Opportunity to identify high-potential talent early.

POWERful Tip: A successful internship program should prioritize impact—for the intern and the organization. Give real responsibility, not busywork.

Our Summer Internship Program is designed for hard working, curious, and driven students looking to dive deep into the world of digital marketing.
