Juniors and Seniors,
We are partnering again this year with the Department of Advertising and Public Relations in the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia to offer select internships to juniors and seniors. This year, the internship will be in-person and students will be expected to meet weekly at Grady College for approximately 1 hour Wednesday evenings. The internship runs from September 2021 - April 2022. Should circumstances change, the internship and agency meetings will go online via zoom. Below you will find links providing an overview of the internship from last year’s interns representing each school as well as the link to the application that will be open August 23 – August 30.
Talking Dog, a full-service, student-led advertising and public relations agency, matches qualified interns with our student teams serving national and local clients. Past clients have included Coca-Cola, Hotel Indigo, The Backpack Project, White Tiger Gourmet, Porsche, and many others. Interns should be prepared to work in a fast-paced team environment and will complete the internship having gained experience in various areas such as: project management, advertising, public relations, digital media production, photography, research and copywriting.
Each intern will be placed on a team of 6-8 UGA students who will be assigned to a national or local client. Interns will be paired with a mentor on each client team and will be working under Valentina Drake, Director of Intern Relations, for Talking Dog.
Applications will open on Monday, August 23 and applying is easy!
