About The Position

At Schaefer Ad Co., our goal as an agency is to make life better for our clients, our team, our community and ourselves. Our culture impacts every area of the agency and is rooted within every employee from the top down. Across each discipline, every person at the agency is encouraged to be their best selves, even the agency dog. That is why Schaefer Ad Co. is more than just one person, or a name on a building, or even just a place where people come to work. It is a place that fosters community, where differences are admired, and out-of-the-box ideas are encouraged. Within these four walls is an environment that demands self and team growth via exposure to new things. This mindset is what drives our agency to be an empowering place to work that always strives to maintain a fun, engaging and collaborative environment. Whether it is through our various Schaefer outings or our internal kitchen get-togethers, at Schaefer, individuality is celebrated at every opportunity. The result of this type of environment is a place that every employee is proud to call home. Because at Schaefer Ad Co. we are more than just merely coworkers, we are a family – and not the type that is simply united by blood, or are forced to spend the holiday together, but a group of people who genuinely trust, care about, and look out for each other. Vision If you are a self-motivated, hard worker with excellent communication skills and possess extremely high standards of accountability and trust worthiness, then we would love to hear from you. The paid internship begins in June 1st and will last for approximately 13 weeks ending on August 21st. We require 20-25 hours per week at a minimum of 3 days in the office per week. We welcome the opportunity to apply your time with us towards university credit. What you should expect? Not all internships are created equal. At Schaefer Advertising, our interns get the opportunity to work on real client projects, gain real-world knowledge and be mentored by some of the industry’s best. Our goal is to help provide our interns with an immersive agency experience that will help them build a foundation as they get ready to enter their first advertising job. And if you’re a rockstar and the stars align, that first advertising job could be on the Schaefer team. What we expect out of you? Long gone are the days of interns fetching coffee or just taking meeting recap notes. Our expectation is for you to be an active member of our team. That means you will be asked to own projects, have a point-of-view, meet deadlines and join in on all of the nitty gritty of our day-to-day work. The Graphic Design intern will be coached by a creative manager and work closely with all members of the Creative Team. Responsibilities will include:
