International Internships in Advertising

World Endeavors Advertising interns have the chance to experience the many processes that go toward building a successful advertising campaign. These include researching and analyzing market trends, strategizing on brand image, and planning new marketing initiatives. Advertising internship tasks can include participating in online advertising projects, developing media kits, designing print advertisements, conducting client research, assisting with copywriting, or providing administrative support. Throughout their internships, advertising interns learn more about international media and the unique approaches of advertisers around the globe.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON AN ADVERTISING INTERNSHIP

It is helpful for interns to have strong writing skills and familiarity with the most common word processing and desktop publishing programs. Experience with copywriting and with designing websites or page layouts can be helpful as well, though it is not a requirement for participation. Participants with a balance of drive, openness, and flexibility tend to thrive in advertising internships.

HIGHLIGHTS & BENEFITS

  • Few fields require as much cultural literacy as advertising, particularly in today’s world where an advertising campaign can have a global reach.
  • When designing an ad or a campaign, advertisers have to know how readers or viewers will respond to their materials.
  • Living and working abroad is one of the best ways to learn to read cultural cues and communicate in a new medium.

Intern Abroad FAQs

Where will I intern?

While some organizations have a list of open internships and place applicants in those positions, we work in the opposite direction. We first learn about you, your interests, goals and experience, and then actively pursue the internship that provides you with experience directly relevant to your future career. 

What will I be doing at my internship?

Our internships are customized to fit each individual’s goals, interests, and skill level. We consider all of these things and then make a placement accordingly. Therefore, we don’t have specific internships “set aside” waiting for people to fill them. We have placed interns in both small and large companies, but due to confidentiality of our host companies and organizations we are not able to provide a list of companies.

If I am accepted into the program, am I guaranteed an internship?

We are confident in our ability to find impactful,  skill-building internships. If you are accepted into our program, we guarantee that we will find you a placement in your first or second choice field.

Do I need to have experience?

We arrange rewarding internship placements for people with all levels of experience. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an expert in your field, a successful experience requires a positive approach and a mind open to learning, growing and strengthening your skills.

Are the internships paid?

We really wish we could offer paid internships, but all of the internships we coordinate are unpaid placements. Paid internships abroad are few and far-between, as they require a different type of visa that is difficult to attain, and they also require sponsorship by the host company, which is quite costly for them. The goal of our program is to provide meaningful, hands-on experience in your specific profession or field of study that will give you a competitive edge in the job market and make you valuable to employers who are globally minded. If you are seeking a placement to help you gain international experience, improve your skills in your field and enhance your resume, our program provides the perfect opportunity.

What companies do you work with?

Our internships are customized to fit each individual’s goals, interests, and skill level. We consider all of these things and then make a placement accordingly. Therefore, we don’t have specific internships “set aside” waiting for people to fill them. We have placed interns in both small and large companies, but due to confidentiality of our host companies and organizations we are not able to provide a list of companies.

Is there a cost to particiate?

We strive to provide immersive, life changing, and professionally rewarding programs for our interns. Our programs are designed as a comprehensive “program” instead of just the internship so that we can provide a full experience for our participants. The program fees we charge include the in-country expenses (housing, insurance, orientation, etc.) and also the dedicated work that goes behind finding a customized, one-of-a-kind, international internship placement.
