Internship: AAF/W. Pendleton Tudor Internship


For students interested in the media aspect of advertising, I encourage you to check out the W. Pendleton Tudor Internship. This is an extremely prestigious internship for those looking to get into advertising sales as only one student nationwide is selected as the recipient. Be prepared to play hard for this position as the competition will be fierce.

The recipient receives a 10-week internship with Adweek magazine's marketing department in New York City. Previous recipients also received a stipend of $4,500 to cover transportation costs, food lodging and other expenses.

I've confirmed with AAF's Education Services that applications for this years program will be due by February 6, 2009, so check back frequently to the website for the updated application.

Not Quite my Fall Song . . . but

Seriously I can't stop listening to Ninjasonik. I don't even think I like them, but I like them. Damn, I feel like I'm seriously crushing on my bff's brother with acne.

Internship: COLABORATORY


For those of you who are not eligible for MAIP and are frantically looking for an internship for the summer, check out Portland Ad Federation's COLABORATORY.

COLABORATORY is a 6-week, paid internship that places 10 students with a bevy of Portland agencies. Last years students were on rotation with three agencies throughout their summer based on their strengths and interests. In addition to their work at the agency, the interns were separated into two teams and competed in a pitch for an actual client.

Check out one of the teams videos:




I came across a few of their interns blogs (there are several of them - hunt them down, it's well worth it) over the summer and was impressed with how interconnected they were through multiple social networks. In addition to their blogs, they utilized video journals on YouTube and posted photos on Flickr. This is a great way for prospective interns to see what the program offers and to to get a glimpse into what your life as an intern would look like.

I've confirmed with PAF that COLABORATORY will be looking for interns for Summer 2009. Applications will be accepted from Feb. 1, 2009 - March 31, 2009 with finalists being notified on May 1, 2009. So check out their website, download the application and make it work!
