ARF Intern Program Description

The Advertising Research Foundation is an open forum where the best and the brightest from every avenue of advertising can gather to exchange ideas and research strategies. Together, we challenge conventional maxims, take on the latest issues, and discover new insights to benefit us all.

This collaboration yields something invaluable: knowledge. Knowledge that is meaningful, actionable, and indispensable. Knowledge that empowers our members to have a true impact on their marketing programs and their organizations. Knowledge that changes perspective and changes the game.

Since 1936, our goal has been to lead our industry forward. As an open-minded, unbiased environment, free of partisan interests, the ARF facilitates a smarter, stronger, and more effective community. The Summer Internship Program that has been developed will assign students to one of our senior staff. All students will work on business projects suitable for a resume summary.

ARF Summer Interns are given a unique opportunity to work very closely with senior staff; something that is not possible in many organizations. Interns are really able to hone their project management and organizational skills through a wide variety of tasks.

The ARF is host to many events and interns are often able to attend meetings and events. Our events are packed with industry leaders, thus creating an excellent networking opportunity for our interns.

ARF staff will provide overviews of their areas and explain the role and context of student assignments. Questions and discussion will be encouraged. Lunchtime presentations will be held to introduce students to different business experiences among ARF staff.

The Summer Internship Program will be a 12-week program, starting on May 31st and concluding on August 19th. Summer Interns will be asked to work 20 hours/week and will be compensated at an hourly rate.

Please see the descriptions below for available positions. Interested students should send their resumes to kathryn@thearf.org along with a cover letter identifying the areas of the ARF with which they are interested in working.
