Black Sheep's Brand Management Internship

At Black Sheep, we don't treat our interns with kid gloves. You don't fetch coffee or make copies (that would be hard to do remotely). You jump into real client work. You take supportive and impactful actions. You serve as a significant member of a team on a variety of projects. You get paid. And, at the end of the day, if you put your best work forward, you end up with a killer portfolio, strong references and some impressive additions for your LinkedIn profile. Sometimes, you even end up with a job offer.

We are driven by purpose, and so we're purposeful about Internships too.

As a Brand Management Intern, you will:

  • Be immersed in an agency and learn how the agency operates.
  • Stretch your research/writing/presenting muscles.
  • Grow in personal and professional best practices and presence.
  • Build on your portfolio of sample work.
  • Develop a mentor/mentee relationship with one of our team members.
  • Practice autonomy and responsibility in an environment dedicated to your growth.

So what does that mean for you day-to-day?

Our Brand Management Internship program includes:

  • Immersion and informational sessions with each member and department from our team
  • The completion of a research, writing and presentation project, developed by YOU
  • A variety of hands-on assignments and responsibilities to give a broad experience
  • Real-time collaboration sessions with coworkers
  • Weekly one-on-one mentorship sessions with your Team Lead
  • The opportunity to shadow members of our team
  • A custom-built skills training program for you to complete during your time here

Our Internship can be remote or, if you are local, can include in-person experience as we determine how to return to our office safely.

What experience, skills and qualities are we looking for?

  • Passionate interest in communications, marketing, public relations or similar
  • Knowledge of social media platforms
  • Strong organizational and written/verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work independently, multi-task and manage several ongoing projects simultaneously
  • Willingness to ask ALL the questions and make mistakes
  • Availability to work 35-40 hours per week during the upcoming Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 semesters
  • ABOVE ALL, someone who never dodges a challenge and isn’t afraid to give or receive constructive feedback.

A little bit about Inclusion at Black Sheep

Yes, we’re a gathering of rebels. We’ve come together to change minds and accelerate impact for organizations and businesses that are leading communities toward a more equitable future. In our field of strategy, marketing and creative ideas, we know the playing field isn’t fair, and getting a dream job is easier for some than others.

We believe our ecosystem is strengthened through perspective and collaboration, and that can only happen when mentorship, leadership and career opportunities are open to all. We’re looking for go-getters and figure-it-outers— people who think beyond the ordinary list of awards and internships and tell the story of how they’ve transformed their professional life through personal initiative and creativity.

We don’t believe talent and expertise should look the same—ever. Tell us how you’ll join us in sparking an empowered and brilliant future for our communities. Be your own agent of change. We want to meet you.
