The Backstage Pass is one of the largest advertising internships in the Northwest. Hundreds of resumes are submitted each and every year for the most competitive advertising internship in the Northwest, with only four interns being selected to become Drake Cooper-ites for an entire summer. We can teach you art, copy & code. You bring the ambition.
As a Backstage Pass Intern, you will be working with a team to create strategic and creative work for real clients. You’ll get a taste of every aspect of advertising from some of the most talented folks around. You’ll learn a lot about yourself in a short amount of time. You’ll probably go away knowing whether advertising is your thing or if it’s time to join a Father John Misty cover band (it’s certainly the more profitable career choice). You’re going to work your ass off, but we’re confident you’ll have a good time. One thing is certain; our Backstage Pass Internship program will provide you with a line item for your growing resume that will be way stronger than “Agency Barista.”
The Perks
- Get Paid: Unpaid internships are bs. $18/hr, 30 hours per week.
- School Cred: Need credit? We’ll work with your school any way we can.
- Agency Life: Join the kickball team or 3D print something, do you.
- Connections: It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. And what you know.
- Golden Ticket: Well, not literally, but a letter of recommendation from Jamie Cooper is still pretty good.
- Experience: Get briefed (for real client projects), participate in workshops, get critiqued.
