About The Position

HLK is looking for Account Manager Interns for our Summer 2026 Launchpad Internship Program.
Sure, we want to work with talented people. That’s a given. But that’s not all. We also want to work with talented people who are driven. Those who know that “good enough” is never good enough. Those who don’t just say that something won’t work, but bring a solution, too. We want interns that really want to understand and get experience in the advertising business.
Trust us, you won't be sitting around looking at social media all day, emptying the dishwasher or grabbing lattes for people—you're going to be doing some real work and gaining some real experience! Our 6-week internship program will offer a challenging and rewarding real-life work environment within an innovative and dynamic advertising agency. This is an opportunity for you to work closely with your team on two agency projects, from brief to pitch. If you aspire to “get your feet wet” in the advertising industry, this is the opportunity for you!
