Summer 2027 Internship - Digital Marketing & Analytics

Ovative Group • Minneapolis, MN

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

An internship with Ovative is a truly unique opportunity for an analytically minded, team-oriented problem solver to take on a key role at a fast-growing company that has the highest standards for talent, fun, and client success. The right candidate will be highly analytical, with great critical thinking skills and motivated by driving results for our clients. This is a pivotal resource for our team – demand continues to grow for what we do and it’s our customer data-driven measurement and activation focus that continues to set us apart. Upon hire, each intern will be placed within a specific Digital Marketing & Measurement business area that is aligned with their skillset and interests, where they will perform heavy data analysis and help execute and manage media programs for our clients. Interns will be assigned to one primary focus area based on their skillset and interests but will be given the opportunity to gain experience across Ovative Group’s practice areas, including Marketing Strategy, Analytics & Activation. Primary focus areas will be determined collectively and shared 1-2 weeks before start date. We will provide more information on the available teams/focus areas at that time and will allow time for preferences to be recorded. Interns will go through a robust onboarding bootcamp during their first couple weeks at Ovative to gain a big picture view of our business, history and vision. Interns will meet with senior leaders for both project work and informational interviews. Interns will be invited to internal and client meetings to experience the full scope of projects. Interns will have the opportunity to get a certification in one of many programs we work with at Ovative (E.g. Google Adwords, Google Analytics, etc.). This is a great addition to a resume. Interns will work closely with managers for training, project work, and mentoring.
