Marketing Internship: Spring 2026

Willis Johnson & Associates • Houston, TX

114d • $18 - $21

About The Position

Willis Johnson & Associates (WJA) is seeking creative, self-motivated Juniors and Seniors to join our growing Marketing and Sales team for an immersive Spring Internship in Houston. This is not a coffee-fetching role—you’ll own projects, create meaningful content, and contribute directly to the firm’s growth. If you’re passionate about storytelling, digital marketing, and building real-world skills that matter, we want to meet you. Why WJA? We’re different. At WJA, our Marketing team is small, fast-paced, and impact-driven. We leave egos at the door, prioritize collaboration, and aim to drive measurable results in everything we do. You’ll work side by side with senior team members, gaining mentorship, networking, and hands-on experience that goes beyond typical internship tasks. We’re not looking for “just another intern”. We see our interns as valuable contributors from day one, there to tackle projects alongside us. If you embody our WJA values: Consultative, Technical, Methodical, Collaborative, and Proactive, you’ll thrive here.
