So what's a Slingternship?

As an advertising intern at Slingshot, you'll get hands-on experience. Like this website for instance, an intern wrote the copy you're reading right now.  If you’re interested in an internship where you actually create something, then continue reading.

The Slingshot Internship is an opportunity to gain real experience with real clients in a real agency. In our summer program you will participate in every aspect of a campaign from client interest to execution. This 10-week program in our Dallas office is similar to an entry-level position at the agency, but with a little more learning and guidance. You will even have a mentor to offer nuggets of wisdom and insight along the way. And to answer the question you’re afraid to ask, yes, the internship is paid.

The projects for each position will differ as the client work changes, but the uniting factor is the Summer Intern Project. This site was created as the intern project. It was entirely intern written and driven, like the human-feet-powered car from that cartoon that I can’t name directly because of copyright issues. The client was Slingshot, which was convenient, since we were experiencing the service we would be advertising.

We also offer spring and fall internships on a rolling, as needed basis.
