The work

KW2 interns are exposed to all areas of an advertising agency—account service, account planning, creative, production and interactive—but are focused primarily on the account side. The type of assignments our interns work on, more specifically, can be broken down into four categories:

1. Current client work: competitive research, project management (creation of project briefs, change orders, production estimates), and participation in meetings, creative brainstorms and strategic discussions. Interns are able to see first-hand the advertising/marketing process from initial client request through creative concepting and into final production.
2. New business: backgrounding, research, list generation, etc. 
3. Social media: participation in KW2 social media spaces
4. Administrative support: documentation routing and filing, meeting notes
