About The Position

Our Summer Internship Program gives college juniors an opportunity to experience how marketing and communications drive business growth, brand awareness, and client engagement within a professional services organization. From day one, you'll be immersed in meaningful work that supports the firm's marketing and communications efforts. Rather than observing from the sidelines, you'll own projects and help bring ideas to life across multiple channels. Over 10 weeks, you'll lead 2-3 marketing-focused special projects from concept through execution, delivering outcomes that support the firm's strategic goals. You will partner with interns and colleagues across the organization to move project deliverables through marketing and compliance review processes and into approved client-facing materials. You will collaborate on the development of marketing collateral, presentations, and other content used by advisory teams with prospects and clients. You will support content planning, copywriting, video production, scheduling, and reporting across social media platforms. You will assist with website optimization, search engine optimization (SEO), generative engine optimization (GEO), and digital advertising initiatives. You will plan and coordinate the firm's annual internship reception while supporting other client and firmwide events. You will contribute to the creation, scheduling, and analysis of email marketing campaigns and newsletters. By the end of the summer, you'll have developed a strong understanding of how marketing, communications and compliance work together in a highly regulated industry. More importantly, you'll gain hands-on experience that prepares you for a career in marketing and communications.
