Strategy Internship:

Our Strategy Interns are perceptive and inquisitive about the cultures they live in and the people who surround them. This kind of insight into reality, coupled with a fierce and daring imagination of what could be, allows them to help turn brand buyers into “brand believers.”  Strategy Interns will be responsible for feeding the creative process with relevant information and research about people’s attitudes and behavior in the marketplace.
