Content Marketing Intern — Element5 Forge Internship Program
About The Position
We're Element5, and we don't do safe marketing. We build brands that demand attention, create digital experiences that actually matter, and help companies stay relevant in a world that moves fast. No fluff. No "thought leadership" buzzwords. Just smart strategy, sharp creative, and marketing that actually performs. This role is part of Forge – our internship program built around one belief: the best way to learn agency work is to do agency work. Not a simulation. Not a training exercise. The real thing. About Forge Forge is our structured 12-week internship program designed to throw you into real agency life — with the support, mentorship, and structure to make it mean something. You'll work on live client projects, build a campaign from strategy through execution, and leave with portfolio work you actually earned. Every week has a rhythm: a Monday kickoff, midweek project work, and a Friday feedback session where we give you honest notes — and ask for yours in return. This isn't a coffee-run internship. It's the kind of experience you'll still be talking about when you're interviewing for your first full-time role.

You'll contribute to real client projects and campaigns — not training exercises or internal busywork. You'll build a portfolio. Your internship will produce work you can actually show in interviews. A real campaign, built from strategy through execution. You'll learn from experienced marketers. You'll get direct, honest feedback and weekly mentorship from our team — not a once-a-month check-in that feels like a performance review. You'll experience agency life. Fast-paced, collaborative, creative — and sometimes a little chaotic (the good kind). You'll know exactly what this world looks like when you leave. Want to know more before you apply?
