Full Time Unpaid Internship
There are endless sources of information about client activity via different newsletters, subscription services, and good old-fashioned observing of competitor's sites. This information is scattered and as such salespeople spend a lot of time gathering it individually in a manner that is duplicative with their peers. Our advertising sales intern will be spearheading a project to gather, centralize, and re-distribute this information to the sales team daily. This project will provide the intern with a wealth of information about our business. Our intern will also be involved in large client pitches as these frequently require up to the minute marketplace information, which is what the intern will rapidly become an expert in.
