The BMF Strategy & Creative teams are the lynch pin of the business. Once a new business lead is in the door, or an existing client needs additional programming, the Strategy Team researches and develops programs that will inspire, excite, and meet client objectives using analytics, emerging trends, category knowledge, and pure inspiration. These programs are created to appeal to the client’s target audiences, align with their business goals, can be integrated across communications platforms and have measurable results. Working closely with the Creative Team, this strategic plan is the core of the entire BMF program. This intern will research trends, competitors’ brands, and the latest experiential activations. In addition, they will work with the team on responses to RFPs.
BMF Internship Program
Our internship program is designed to give students a distinct learning experience different from the exposure acquired at schools or have had in previous internships. Through day-to-day mentorship, hands-on experience and access to category experts across the agency, our goal is for interns to be able to discover the ins and outs of all aspects of integrated marketing.
We ask interns to bring a professional attitude as well as the experience they have already collected. To us this means interns have and share ideas, are engaged in assignments, listen, ask questions, follow directions, show up on time, and in general give it their all. In return, it means BMF gives interns time, feedback, insight, help, and a push in the right direction when needed. Bottom line – we are in this together, so we all learn and have a rewarding and fun experience.
