PXP Intern - Content Strategy

Company Description

Global? Yep. Integrated full-service content creation agency? Yeah. Proprietary tech, real-time insights, award winning creative, with end-to-end in-house production? PXP is all that, too. But there’s more. We believe in your dream. We nurture ideas. And together, we can make it all a reality. Real content. Real action. Real results. You in?

Business Insider has recently recognized our sister agencies as one of the top 20 Internship Programs in the country. We've designed the program to give bright, curious individuals the best, most realistic internship experience in the advertising industry. Participants work alongside the top talent in the industry and are embraced as contributing employees of the agency. We expect our interns to deliver on the big, campaignable, Humankind ideas that our agencies are known for worldwide.

Job Description

Built on a foundation of creative "makers" and extensive production capabilities, our Content Strategy offering focuses on strategizing and executing digital content, from social media to creator content to platform partnerships and more. You will work closely with creative teams to better maintain the integrity of PXP's innovative ideas and streamline the workflow, increasing content's speed-to-market.

In general, we're looking for bright, digitally focused Content Strategy interns who love hybrid roles that combine strategy, content-making, social trends, and working with creators to develop fit-for-platform content that's experimental and relevant.

This paid, in person, 10-week program runs June 5 - August 11, and is available to incoming college seniors and recent graduates. Applications will be accepted online through April 9, 2023 and we will notify selected candidates in late April/May.

Program highlights include:

• Lunch & Learns - Gain an understanding of the creative process and the role of each agency discipline.
• Intern Pitch Project – Experience the full life cycle of an agency pitch, and get hands-on skills in collaboration, problem-solving, presentation skills, and work process.
• Cultural Gatherings - Join fellow interns and agency staff to enjoy the best New York has to offer.

Qualifications

Here's what's required, at every level:

• Flexibility. We're a new department and a new offering. You'll work on many different assignments and projects, so this is a great internship for someone who wants to try other things.
• A start-up mindset. While we live in the Publicis Groupe ecosystem, we're also forging a new path. That means we often get scrappy and inventive.
• Experience (or interest in) hybrid roles. We don't use a traditional agency model with concrete functions for account, strategy, and creative. Instead, our job descriptions are intentionally blurred, combining elements that could include strategy, ideation, execution, creativity, writing, making, and client relationships. We believe that everyone has a range of abilities and ideas and we try to match roles with the interests and talents of our team members.
• Curiosity. About content. About new platforms. About technology. How they can come together (AR! AI! Etc!). We don't expect you to know it all, but we hope you want to learn.
• Team mentality. The way we succeed as a new department is by working together, having each other's back, collaborating
• Candidate must be 21+, as the client deals with age-restricted products.
