Our Summer Internship Program will immerse you in our fast-paced industry and expose you to a variety of clients and projects, all while working alongside our expert consultants.

Hands-On Industry Experience:

You'll kick off your summer supporting the firm as we prepare for Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity – identifying key information across Fortune 500s and developing briefing books to help prepare our clients. Through staffing assignments, you will then join client teams and be staffed on real client engagements where your background, opinion, and insights matter. You'll assist with market research, situation analysis, competitive benchmarking, go-to-market strategy and more.

Whether you're analyzing industry trends, participating in a brainstorm, or assisting with day-to-day project management, your contributions will have a direct impact on our company.

Business Acumen Development:

The internship program concludes with a capstone project where teams of 3-4 interns develop a new business pitch for a company that plays a key part in the media ecosystem and present how MediaLink could service an unmet need or solve a specific problem for the potential client. You'll study the client, the market, the opportunity, and share your recommendations with senior leaders at the firm – providing you with the opportunity to build a strong foundation in strategy, analytics, and client service.
