Open roles

We’re looking for a Brand & Strategy Intern who can support Phoenix projects during Spring and/or Summer of 2024 for a minimum of 16 hours/week. Preference will be given to candidates interested in both.

An internship at Phoenix is ideal for students who think they might want to get into strategy consulting, communications, cultural anthropology, sociology, work as a strategic planner or digital strategist at an agency, or join an in-house Brand or Marketing team. We take internships seriously, because it’s generally a critical component of deciding what you really want (or don’t want) to do after school. Our previous interns have been able to break into strategy, landing roles at KPMG Digital, NARS, Anomaly and VCU Brand Center to name a few.

We want to make sure you get awesome, real world experience you can apply to your journey ahead of you, that helps you decide where you might head next. Interested so far?
