Social Media Internship

Are you a budding marketing, business, communications or journalism student with an interest in social media and online marketing? We are a small team with a focus on the creative process, user experience and high quality development. We believe in doing great work and delivering high quality products and a great customer experience to our clients. If you are passionate about advancing your knowledge of social media and web marketing, working on a variety of projects and helping our company grow, then we are looking for you.

This internship is offered this summer semester. At VisionPoint Marketing, we believe:

  • Interns are key to our evolution.
  • Interns deserve to spend their time hands-on, learning by doing, and contributing to project work for nationally recognized clients and you will work alongside some of the best in the business.
  • You will be part of our team and you will work with other team members to create, monitor and track against social media projects built with care and precision.
  • (Let’s put it this way: You won’t be fetching coffee, unless you want to fetch it for yourself)

What’s the VisionPoint Marketing difference?

VisionPoint Marketing believes in providing our interns with real world, experience and knowledge. If you are selected as a VisionPoint intern, you will have the opportunity to do real client work that not only builds your work portfolio but it also gives you the applicable experience that will help you succeed post graduation. We select interns that we believe hold the potential to be full time, permanent team members following graduation. See what past interns have said HERE and HERE. 

VisionPoint Marketing interns have a permanent team member that is responsible for their education plan and growth throughout their program. This manager collaborates with you to develop your experience and knowledge goals and helps ensure you complete your internship with a resume of achievements that rival multi-year job accomplishments. Your manager will also be by your side (your desk will be by your manager – not in a room full of other interns) to provide ongoing guidance and feedback that is critical to learning and not floundering.

If this sounds like the type of learning opportunity for you, we look forward to hearing from you.
